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

Nowadays, fungal infections affect millions of people across the world. Candida auris, a new emergent yeast, is a worrisome pathogen because it associates with a high rate of incidence and prevalence, including in the nosocomial environment. The hard identification, the phenotypic plasticity, and the easy adaptation to stressful conditions are some of the C. auris traits that render this latest yeast singular challenging. C. auris infections have already been reported from more than 30 countries and are associated with high mortality rates. This is the result from rapid transmission and the difficulty of prevention, control, and eradication. There are several factors related to the high virulence of C. auris, such as the multidrug resistance, biofilm development, and the ability to escape the response of the innate immune system. So, C. auris infections are a serious and alarming problem, not only because of the high pathogenicity of the fungal agent but also because of the low effectiveness of the treatments available. Although new formulations have been developed against C. auris strains, a better understanding is essential to efficiently treat, prevent, and control C. auris infections.
