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

backgroundThe current study aimed to identify Iranian Nakaseomyces (Candida) glabrata complex species in the clinical isolates and determine their antifungal susceptibility profile.

methodsIn total, 320 N. glabrata clinical isolates were collected from patients hospitalized in different geographical regions of Iran. The initial screening was performed by morphological characteristics on CHROMagar Candida. Each isolate was identified by targeting the D1/D2 rDNA using a multiplex-PCR method. To validate the mPCR method and determine genetic diversity, the ITS-rDNA region was randomly sequenced in 40 isolates. Additionally, antifungal susceptibility was evaluated against nine antifungal agents following the CLSI M27-A4 guidelines.

resultsAll clinical isolates from Iran were identified as N. glabrata. The analysis of ITS-rDNA sequence data revealed the presence of eight distinct ITS clades and 10 haplotypes among the 40 isolates of N. glabrata. The predominant clades identified were Clades VII, V, and IV, which respectively accounted for 22.5%, 17.5%, and 17.5% isolates. The widest MIC ranges were observed for voriconazole (0.016-8 μg/mL) and isavuconazole (0.016-2 μg/mL), whereas the narrowest ranges were seen with itraconazole and amphotericin B (0.25-2 μg/mL).

conclusionHaplotype diversity can be a valuable approach for studying the genetic diversity, transmission patterns, and epidemiology of the N. glabrata complex.
