The Incidence of Ocular Complications in Candidemic Patients and Implications for the Practice of Routine Eye Exams.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: Ocular candidiasis is a known complication of candidemia. Given the poor ocular penetration of echinocandins, there is some concern that the increasing use of echinocandins may portend an increased incidence of ophthalmic complications. We examined the changing trends in antifungal prescribing patterns and the incidence of ophthalmic complications after candidemia. Methods: Patients with blood cultures positive for Results: There were 226 candidemia cases during the study period, 129 (57.1%) of which underwent screening eye exams. From 2014 to 2015, 24 of 37 (64.5%) patients received eye-penetrating antifungals compared to 36 of 92 (39.1%) from 2016 to 2020 ( Conclusions: Prescription of eye-penetrating antifungals for candidemia has trended down since 2016. This was associated with a concomitant increase in abnormal findings on screening fundoscopy. Abnormal eye exams were not uncommon throughout our study period.
