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

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) represents a global health issue. However, epidemiological data on VVC in eastern China are scarce, limited, and outdated. To address this gap, we conducted a six-year retrospective study (2019-2024), investigating the epidemiological characteristics, species distribution, and antifungal susceptibility patterns of VVC patients in Shanghai, China. VVC was confirmed based on clinical symptoms combined with laboratory examination. IMPORTANCE: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a widespread condition among women, associated with significant emotional, physical, and economic burdens, and presents ongoing challenges in diagnosis and management. Our six-year Shanghai study reveals
