The accuracy of the Candida Score
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCandidemia poses a significant health challenge in neonates. This study evaluates a modified version of the Candida Score to enhance early detection and guide antifungal therapy decisions.
objectiveTo assess the accuracy of a revised Candida Score
methodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted at the Harapan Kita National Women and Children Health Centre (HKNWCHC) from 2017 to 2023. The study involved 32 neonates diagnosed with candidemia and 29 with bacterial sepsis. The original Candida Score - comprising total parenteral nutrition (TPN), surgery, multifocal colonisation, and severe sepsis - was modified by adding platelet count and patient origin. Multivariate logistic regression identified predictive factors, while ROC curve analysis validated the revised scoring system.
resultsSevere thrombocytopenia (AOR 7.153;
conclusionIncorporating outborn status and thrombocytopenia improved early identification of neonatal candidemia. The revised Candida Score
