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

Yeast-related bloodstream infections (BSIs) in pediatric patients are associated with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), hematological/oncological malignancies and admission to an intensive care unit. These infections are rarely described from low- and middle-income countries. We describe a case series of pediatric patients diagnosed with severe sepsis and yeast isolated from their blood culture in a conflict-affected area of Nigeria from October 2018 to November 2021. We identified 20 patients with yeast BSIs, among whom 17 were also diagnosed with SAM. We recommend the inclusion of antifungal treatment for empiric treatment guidelines for children with SAM and severe sepsis in similar settings.
