Prevalence and Species Distribution of Neonatal Candidiasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
aimCandida infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) globally. We aimed to conduct a systematic review to investigate the prevalence of candida among causative organisms of neonatal sepsis and identify the distribution of candida species infecting Saudi neonates.
methodsWe comprehensively searched Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Library from their inception till November 2023. After screening titles, abstracts, and full texts, we ultimately included 21 eligible studies. The designs of the included studies were randomized clinical trials, cohorts, case-control, and case reports; the methodological quality was appraised using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool, NIH tool for observational studies, and Murad tool for assessing case reports.
resultsOur systematic review and meta-analysis pooled data reported in 21 studies in the Saudi populations, which provided data on different types of candidal infections in 2346 neonates. The pooled data of ten retrospective studies enrolling 1823 neonates revealed that candida species resembled 4.2% of the causative organisms of neonatal sepsis among Saudi neonates (95%CI [2.5%; 5.9%],
conclusionsWe found that candida species prevailed in 4.2% of 1823 cases of neonatal sepsis; the most common candida species was
