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

backgroundInvasive candidal infection is a serious health threat to high-risk pediatric populations. Data on pediatric epidemiology of candidemia in Korea are limited.

methodsA retrospective chart review was performed for patients aged 0-18 years who were diagnosed with candidemia from 2009 to 2018 in tertiary hospitals. Patients were divided into two groups; a neonatal group of babies with postnatal age 28 days or younger or any patients hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit and a pediatric group of the rest of patients. Only the first candidemia episode for each patient was included.

resultsA total of 228 patients with candidemia were identified from five hospitals. Of them, 87 and 141 were assigned into the neonatal group and the pediatric group, respectively. The most common underlying condition was prematurity (88.5%) in the neonatal group and hematology-oncology diseases (49.6%) in the pediatric group. Non-
