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

Background: Deep fungal infection has become an important cause of infection and death in hospitalized patients, and this has worsened with increasing antifungal drug resistance. Objective: A 3-year retrospective study was conducted to investigate the clinical characteristics, pathogen spectrum, and drug resistance of deep fungal infection in a regional hospital of Guangzhou, China. Methods: Non-duplicate fungi isolates recovered from blood and other sterile body fluids of in-patients of the clinical department were identified using biochemical tests of pure culture with the API20C AUX and CHROMagar medium. Antifungal susceptibilities were determined by Sensititre YeastOne Results: In this study, 525 patients (283 female, 242 male) with deep fungal infection were included, half of them were elderly patients (≥60 years) (54.67%, n=286). A total of 605 non-repetitive fungi were finally isolated from sterile samples, of which urine specimens accounted for 66.12% (n=400). Surgery, ICU, and internal medicine were the top three departments that fungi were frequently detected. The mainly isolated fungal species were Conclusion: The main causative agents of fungal infection were still the genus of
