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

Aspergillus and Candida are ubiquitous fungi included in the group of high priority in the World Health Organization list of fungal pathogens. They are found in various ecosystems and the environmental role in increasing the resistance to antifungals has been shown. Thus, we aimed to determine the occurrence of Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. pathogenic species in water samples from a coastal ecosystem from southern Brazil, and its antifungal susceptibility profile. Water samples were collected monthly at three environmental sites, over 25 months. Abiotic parameters of the water samples were analyzed as well as antifungal susceptibility. Aspergillus spp. and Candida spp. were detected in 44% (n = 33/75) and 40% (n = 30/75) respectively of the samples, totaling 67 and 96 isolates. Section Fumigati and C. parapsilosis were the most section/species isolated. Triazole resistance was detected in 3% of the Aspergillus spp. (2/67) and in 1% of the Candida spp. (1/96) isolates. Our study contributes with data showing that coastal aquatic environments can serve as a source of infection of resistant fungal isolates, proving the need for environmental surveillance and monitoring of fungal resistance in the One Health perspective.
