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

objectiveTo analyse the clinical characteristics, antifungal drug resistance, and prognostic factors of patients with Candida auris bloodstream infection. Explore targeted nursing strategies, and provide reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and nursing.

methodsClinical data were collected from 11 patients with C.auris bloodstream infections admitted to Guangdong Provincial Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2023 and June 2025. The data included underlying diseases, history of invasive procedures, antibiotic use, treatment regimens, laboratory indicators, etc. Use a self-made form to collect patient care measures and track their condition. The clinical characteristics of the patients and factors affecting their prognosis were analysed.

resultsAmong the 11 patients, males accounted for 90.9%, with a mean age of 62 years; They were primarily distributed across the Acupuncture Rehabilitation Department and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU); 8 patients had pneumonia, 10 patients had peripherally inserted central venous catheter(PICC), and 9 patients had used antibiotics before infection; 7 patients received targeted treatment, including 6 patients who used caspofungin. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed a fluconazole resistance rate of 81.8%. In terms of prognosis, 6 cases were in the good prognosis group and 5 cases were in the poor prognosis group; the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) was significantly lower in the poor prognosis group than in the good prognosis group (P = 0.006). In terms of nursing measures, there was no statistically significant difference in targeted nursing measures between patients with different prognoses. However, differentiated nursing care can be provided based on patients’ underlying conditions, NPAR values, and other factors.

conclusionPatients with C.auris bloodstream infections are predominantly males with underlying medical conditions, who have undergone invasive procedures and been exposed to antibiotics. NPAR can serve as a prognostic assessment indicator. Enhanced care during invasive procedures, infection control measures, and targeted disease monitoring are effective strategies for preventing healthcare-associated infections and improving patient outcomes.
