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

Ongoing health care-associated outbreaks of the multidrug-resistant yeast Candida auris have prompted the development of several rapid DNA-based molecular diagnostic tests. These tests do not distinguish between live and dead C. auris cells, limiting their use for environmental surveillance and containment efforts. We addressed this critical gap by developing a reverse transcription (RT)-quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) assay to rapidly detect live C. auris in health care environments. This assay targeted the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) ribosomal gene by obtaining pure RNA followed by reverse transcription (ITS2 cDNA) and qPCR. ITS2 cDNA was not detectable in bleach-killed cells but was detectable in heat- and ethanol-killed C. auris cells. The assay was highly sensitive, with a detection limit of 10 CFU per RT-qPCR. Validation studies yielded positive cycle threshold (
