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 and Purpose: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a serious risk factor for oral candidiasis (OC). In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the frequency of Materials and Methods: Oral samples were collected from 169 HIV-positive patients. In addition to culture-based methods, a molecular assay via the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was applied to identify isolates using the Results: In total, 81 participants (47.92%) were positive for OC, and Conclusion: Although several decades have passed since the emergence of HIV/AIDS, little information is available about fungal colonization and infections in this population. Further investigations are suggested using novel and reference molecular identification methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and sequencing, respectively. In addition, more reliable methods for antifungal susceptibility testing are recommended.
