1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Candida auris is an emerging multiresistant pathogen causing nosocomial fungal infection. Specific detection and identification are necessary. Our goal is to develop a new qPCR system that enables rapid detection of C. auris, based on a GPI (glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol) protein-encoding gene. This system is reproducible and sensitive with a limit of detection of 13 C. auris CFU/qPCR reaction. The 100% specificity of this system is confirmed on 2073 clinical and environmental samples, 50 different bacterial species, and 9 Candida spp. (70 strains). This system is suitable to correctly identify C. auris infections and to trace its source.
