Fungal Peritonitis in Peritoneal Dialysis: An 18-year Experience from Nizwa Hospital, Sultanate of Oman.

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
Background: Peritoneal dialysis is an effective therapy for end-stage kidney disease patients. Fungal peritonitis is a rare complication in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Data on peritoneal dialysis-associated fungal peritonitis from Oman are lacking. Objective: To report the epidemiology, management practices, and outcomes in cases of peritoneal dialysis-associated fungal peritonitis from a tertiary hospital in Oman. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included all patients aged ≥13 years who developed fungal peritonitis after peritoneal dialysis treatment at Nizwa Hospital, Nizwa City, Oman, between March 01, 2005, and March 31, 2023. Results: A total of 311 patients were followed-up for peritoneal dialysis during the study period, of which 10 patients developed peritoneal dialysis-related fungal peritonitis (3.2%) (males: 80%; mean age: 54.5 ± 19.9 years). Conclusions: About 3% of the patients on peritoneal dialysis at Nizwa Hospital, Oman, developed fungal peritonitis. Prior antibiotic use was a major risk factor, and thus antifungal prophylaxis is recommended.
