Candida Pneumonia: An Innocent Bystander or a Silent Killer?
Review in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Invasive candidiasis is predominantly seen in immunosuppressed patients and carries a significant mortality. The clinical spectrum of invasive candidiasis encompasses candidemia and disseminated infection (intra-abdominal abscess, osteomyelitis, endophthalmitis, and Candida meningitis). The existence of Candida pneumonia has been largely debated over the years due to its rarity and presence of frequent colonization. Demonstration of Candida species by lung biopsy along with evidence of inflammation is the only way to confirm this entity. The interpretation of Candida in respiratory specimens and the decision to initiate antifungal therapy is controversial due to the lack of clinical evidence. In this mini-review, we discuss the currently available clinical data from the literature on Candida pneumonia and future perspectives regarding the need for antifungal therapy in such patients.
