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

The detection of fungi in urine is common, particularly in nosocomial settings. Nevertheless, diagnostic and treatment approaches are often associated with uncertainty. Accordingly, this review aimed to give a concise overview of fungal urinary tract infection (UTI) as a supplement to the more comprehensive update of the European Association of Urology 2026 Guidelines on Urological Infections. Only 2-11% of fungal isolates in urine are associated with symptoms, and a fungal UTI should only be assumed in such cases.
