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

Despite the devastating consequences of fungal disease, research struggles to catch up to present needs. This study aims to give a broad perspective on the situation, investigating patterns and distribution of fungal pathogens and monitoring trends of resistance to antifungal drugs, over an 8-year timeframe, at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases "Prof. Dr. Matei Balș" in Bucharest, Romania. Samples were inoculated on Sabouraud or Brilliance Candida Agar media; strains were identified using MALDI-TOF MS; and antifungal sensitivity testing was performed using E-Tests strips, VITEK2 Compact and MICRONAUT-AM automatic systems.
