Detection of Candida Species in Genitourinary Tract among Immunocompromised Patients Attending Rural Teaching Hospital.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOpportunistic mycosis such as candidiasis are those fungal infections that are found in patients with underlying predisposing conditions such as old age, immunosuppressive therapy, HIV, tuberculosis, and pregnancy. Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a major source of morbidity in women of all ages, older men and infant boys caused by bacterial as well as fungal agents. Fungal infections, especially Candida species are found to cause candidiasis in pregnant women causing various complications such as urethritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe samples of genitourinary tract such as urine, high vaginal swabs, vaginal discharge, and catheter tips were examined for isolation and identification of Candida species.
resultsA total of 498 samples were processed, of which 55 Candida species were obtained from urine, HVSs, vaginal discharge, and catheter tips. The most prevalent species were Candida albicans (63.64%), followed by Candida tropicalis (12.73%) and Candida glabrata (10.90%). The most effective drug against all the Candida species isolates was Caspofungin showing 100% sensitivity.
conclusionsMaximum number of Candida species was obtained from the urine samples among pregnant female patients aged between 21 and 40 years with C . albicans being the most predominant fungus causing opportunistic fungal infections. Caspofungin was the most effective drug in these isolates. The study emphasizes the need for species-specific therapy and routine screening, especially in pregnant women.
