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 Objectives: Candidemia is the most common serious fungal infection in critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU). It series fourth among bloodstream infectious agents. In this study, candidemia risk analysis was examined in COVID 19 and non-COVID 19 patients during the pandemic period. Materials and Methods: COVID 19 and non-COVID 19 cases who were followed up with candidemia in the ICU of our hospital were retrospectively screened. Demographic data, intubation, central venous catheter (CVC), medications, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) status were evaluated in terms of risk between the two groups. Isolated Results: When age, gender, medication, intubation, TPN and CVC were evaluated, no difference was seen in terms of risk. Differences were detected in terms of comorbidities. While the most frequently identified Conclusion: There was no difference in candidemia incidence and risk factors between the two groups. Since candidemias were evaluated in terms of comorbidities, it was determined that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and chronic obstructive pulmoner disease (COPD) were more common in patients with COVID 19 and less common in coronary artery disease (CAD) and malignancy.
