Candida auris admission screening pilot in select units of New York City health care facilities, 2017-2019.
Article in American journal of infection control, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
backgroundThis pilot project implemented admission screening for Candida auris (C. auris) using real-time polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) in select high-risk units within health care facilities in New York City.
methodsAn admission screening encounter consisted of collecting 2 swabs, to be tested by rt-PCR, and a data collection form for individuals admitted to ventilator units at 2 nursing homes (NHA and NHB), and the ventilator/pulmonary unit, intensive care unit, and cardiac care unit at a hospital (Hospital C) located in New York City from November 2017 to November 2019.
resultsC. auris colonization was identified in 6.9% (n = 188/2,726) of admissions to participating units. Rates were higher among admissions to NHA and NHB (20.7% and 22.0%, respectively) than Hospital C (3.6%). Within Hospital C, the ventilator/pulmonary unit had a higher rate (5.7%) than the intensive care unit (3.8%) or cardiac care unit (2.5%). DISCUSSION: Consistent with prior research, we found that individuals admitted to ventilator units were at higher risk of C. auris colonization.
conclusionsThis project demonstrates the utility of admission screening using rt-PCR testing to rapidly identify C. auris colonization among admissions to health care facilities so that appropriate transmission-based precautions and control measures can be implemented rapidly to help decrease transmission.
