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

Invasive diseases caused by the globally distributed commensal yeast Candida tropicalis are associated with mortality rates of greater than 50%. Notable increases of azole resistance have been observed in this species, particularly within Asia-Pacific regions. Here, we carried out a genetic population study on 1571 global C. tropicalis isolates using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). In addition, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis was conducted on 629 of these strains, comprising 448 clinical invasive strains obtained in this study and 181 genomes sourced from public databases. We found that MLST clade 4 is the predominant azole-resistant clone. WGS analyses demonstrated that dramatically increasing rates of azole resistance are associated with a rapid expansion of cluster AZR, a sublineage of clade 4. Cluster AZR isolates exhibited a distinct high-level azole resistance, which was induced by tandem duplications of the ERG11
