Evaluation of a Novel Laboratory Candiduria Screening Protocol in the Intensive Care Unit.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundSince urine cultures are only guaranteed for patients with obvious urinary symptoms in most cases, most of candiduria episodes are ignored in clinic.
objectiveThis study aimed to design a screening protocol to improve diagnostic efficiency of candiduria, and provide information of
methodsAll patients, who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital during December 1, 2018 and October 1, 2019, were enrolled in this study. Urinalysis was performed every three days for each subject from the first day of ICU admission. Urine specimens were sampled for fungal culture with either condition: (1) yeast-like cell counting (YLCC) ≥200; (2) positive YLCCs were observed in two consecutive tests, and at least one YLCC ≥100.
resultsThe screening protocol dramatically improved the candiduria diagnostic rate of ICU patients from 2.28% to 17.27%. However, compared to the historical control, the screening protocol has no time-saving advantage in candiduria diagnosing. Higher percentage of
conclusionThe screening protocol established in the study was a convenient and practical tool for early warning and feasible management of candiduria and IC.
