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

Candida parapsilosis is an opportunistic yeast that was recently deemed a high- importance fungal pathogen by the World Health Organization. In fact, C. parapsilosis poses an escalating threat in healthcare settings due to its ability to adapt to diverse environments, propensity for human-to-human transmission, and capacity to develop antifungal resistance. Recent studies emphasize its rising clinical importance, particularly with the increasing resistance to antifungals and the emergence of clonal outbreaks, making it a serious threat to public health. This review provides an up-to-date synthesis of our current knowledge on this yeast, addressing its epidemiology, environmental adaptability, and the molecular mechanisms driving resistance to azoles and echinocandins. In particular, it provides a comprehensive overview of the resistome of C. parapsilosis, offering insights into the genetic determinants associated with antifungal resistance. We also identify key unresolved questions and emphasize the need for further research to mitigate its impact on healthcare systems.
