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

Candida albicans is responsible for most of the nosocomial infections that affect immunocompromised individuals. We investigated the application of eosin in photodynamic inactivation as a strategy in the inhibition of the growth of C. albicans and the morphological variation and growth dynamics in light of fractal theory. The damage caused to fungal structures alters the roughness of the colony, and these changes were described by parameters that were defined by mathematical models. Proliferation of the fungi should be inhibited in the center of the colonies and the analysis of the edges gives an indication about the dynamics of growth and cell reproduction.
