Diagnostic value of determination of serum mannan concentrations in patients with candiduria.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The diagnostic value of determination of serum mannan levels was studied in 41 patients with candiduria and 20 control patients without candiduria. The patients with candiduria comprised 18 asymptomatic afebrile patients (group 1) and 23 febrile patients with suspected Candida pyelonephritis (group 2). Mannan antigenemia (> or equal to 0.5 ng/ml) was detected in 14 patients in group 2, this rate being significantly higher than the rate of four patients in group 1 (p < 0.05) and none in the control group (p < 0.01). Serum mannan levels decreased gradually and became undetectable in six patients in whom therapy with an anticandidal agent was effective. Determination of serum mannan levels may be a useful parameter in diagnosing Candida pyelonephritis and deciding on effective treatment.
