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

Cryptococcus species is an opportunistic yeast pathogen and classified into different molecular types according to typing techniques including multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The study aimed to investigate the genotypes of environmental Cryptococcus isolates using MLST and the relationship between the in vitro antifungal susceptibility and sequence types of isolates. Genotyping Cryptococcus isolates was performed by the MLST method at seven nuclear loci. Antifungal susceptibility was determined by using CLSI broth micro-dilution method for amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, flucytosine, and luliconazole. Seven sequence types (ST) were detected using MLST analysis, with the most frequent (50%) ST77, followed by ST4 (16.7%) among 30 C. neoformans isolates. All antifungals demonstrated excellent activity against isolates, except for itraconazole and amphotericin B that were non-wild type against 53.3% and 10% of isolates, respectively. Although seven sequence types belonging to C. neoformans isolates were detected, ST77 was the main sequence type in Ahvaz. Also, non-wild type isolates were only found against itraconazole and amphotericin B.
