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

Candidemia poses a significant challenge for hospitalized neonates with an increase in morbidity and mortality. However, candidemia caused by Candida haemulonii in newborns is rare but fatal. We report such a case in China and performed a literature review. A neonate with a gestational age of 31+6 weeks and a birth weight of 1,420g was diagnosed with C. haemulonii candidemia. The infectious agent was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region. The in vitro antifungal susceptibility testing indicated high minimal inhibitory concentrations for fluconazole (>128 µg/mL), voriconazole (>8 μg/mL), and amphotericin B (>4 µg/mL). Fortunately, the newborn was successfully treated with fluconazole. After a literature review of C. haemulonii candidemia, we found that the risk factors of the candidemia might involve premature, low birth weight, invasive therapeutic devices, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, and parenteral nutrition infusion. This study will broaden our knowledge on neonatal candidemia caused by C. haemulonii.
