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

Systemic candidiasis is a frequent complication in neonatal units, but congenital systemic candidiasis is an unusual diagnosis, observed in both full-term and preterm infants, with less than 50 cases reported to date. Congenital candidiasis presents with a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from diffuse skin eruptions to severe systemic disease, resulting in fetal demise or early neonatal death. Although management guidelines have been published almost two decades ago, due to the rarity of this type of infection, conclusive recommendations are difficult to establish, since they are based on anecdotal experience. In this paper, we present a comprehensive meta-analysis of the current scientific knowledge regarding congenital candidiasis, which spans 54 years and includes a total of 44 cases.
