Increased Incidence of Candida auris Colonization in Early COVID-19 Pandemic, Orange County, California, USA.

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
Candida auris transmission surged in long-term acute-care hospitals (LTACHs) in Orange County, California, USA, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study describes the effect of COVID-19 on C. auris transmission by estimating the probability of patient colonization in LTACHs across 5 epidemiologic time periods. Patients had the highest probability of developing new skin colonization during the first COVID-19 wave, with a cumulative incidence of 22.5% (95% CI 18.5--26.6) after a 30-day stay. Once the initial COVID-19 waves abated, a reduction in cumulative incidence of C. auris colonization was observed concurrently with persistent high prevalence, indicating that within-facility transmission can be reduced with proper infection prevention and control practices. Admission screenings and point prevalence surveys provided a wealth of data that guided public health recommendations and supported the objectives of both public health professionals and LTACHs for monitoring facility transmission dynamics and guiding decision making.
