Multicenter Evaluation of Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy-Based Method for Rapid Identification of Clinically Relevant Yeasts.

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
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has demonstrated applicability as a reagent-free whole-organism fingerprinting technique for both microbial identification and strain typing. For routine application of this technique in microbiology laboratories, acquisition of FTIR spectra in the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode simplifies the FTIR spectroscopy workflow, providing results within minutes after initial culture without prior sample preparation. In our previous central work, 99.7% correct species identification of clinically relevant yeasts was achieved by employing an ATR-FTIR-based method and spectral database developed by our group. In this study, ATR-FTIR spectrometers were placed in 6 clinical microbiology laboratories over a 16-month period and were used to collect spectra of routine yeast isolates for on-site identification to the species level. The identification results were compared to those obtained from conventional biochemical tests and/or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Isolates producing discordant results were reanalyzed by routine identification methods, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, and PCR gene sequencing of the D1/D2 and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. Among the 573 routine clinical yeast isolates collected and identified by the ATR-FTIR-based method, 564 isolates (98.4%) were correctly identified at the species level, while the remaining isolates were inconclusive with no misidentifications. Due to the low prevalence of Candida auris in routine isolates, additional randomly selected C. auris (
