The Interplay Between Sugar and Yeast Infections: Do Diabetics Have a Greater Predisposition to Develop Oral and Vulvovaginal Candidiasis?
Review in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases impacting individuals of both developing and developed nations. DM patients have a weaker immune system in comparison to healthy subjects, rendering them more prone to develop infections. Even the typical gut microflora can become pathogenic in such immunocompromised conditions. Microorganisms belonging to Candida species are capable of causing infections in DM subjects. A comprehensive review of the literature was undertaken. The PubMed database was searched using well-defined search terms. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to classify relevant manuscripts. The results of the review show that DM patients have an increased susceptibility to Candida sp. This paper will summarize the previously conducted research discussing the relationship between DM and candidiasis, features specific to Candida species that make it pathogenic, and compare oral and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) morbidity in diabetics versus healthy subjects.
