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

objectivesCandida albicans can become an opportunistic pathogen that causes several infections that can be fatal in immunocompromised patients. Factors contributing to Candida’s pathogenicity, including enzyme production, are crucial for tissue invasion and infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic presence of secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAP) gene families and phospholipases B (PLB) genes in different genotypes of C. albicans species isolated from candidiasis patients and healthy people.

resultsIn oral isolates, the predominant genotype was A (14/20, 70%). In the blood and vaginal isolates, genotype A (12/20, 60%) and genotype C (10/20, 50%) were predominant genotypes, respectively. There was a ubiquitous detection of SAP1 and SAP8 genes sequences (20/20, 100%) in oral isolates. Blood isolates exhibited a notable predominance of the SAP4 gene (18/20, 90%). In all vaginal isolates, the SAP2, SAP4, and SAP7 genes were presented (20/20, 100%). Additionally, the PLB2 gene was detected in all blood and vaginal isolates (20/20, 100%), whereas the PLB1 gene was predominantly identified in oral isolates (19/20, 95%).
