Evaluation of a commercial medium for identification of Candida species.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
CHROMagar Candida (CHROMagar, France) was evaluated as a medium for the presumptive identification and isolation of yeasts using 1,537 isolates of medically important yeasts, including 970 Candida albicans, 165 Candida parapsilosis, 131 Candida glabrata, 62 Candida guilliermondii, 35 Candida krusei, 32 Candida tropicalis, 31 Rhodotorula rubra, 23 Trichosporon spp. (17 Trichosporon beigelii), 17 Candida famata, 16 Candida pelliculosa, 10 Pichia etchelsii, 10 Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 8 Candida lusitaniae, 7 Cryptococcus spp., and 20 isolates of other Candida spp. After 48 h of incubation at 37 degrees C, the sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 99% and 100% for Candida albicans, 93.8% and 99.1% for Candida tropicalis, and 100% and 100% for Candida krusei. In addition to colony color, other colony characteristics were important for identification of some species, such as rough colonies in Candida krusei isolates or the halo around the colonies of Candida tropicalis. A great variety of colors was observed among species other than Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida krusei. For identification purposes, CHROMagar Candida medium has an accuracy similar to that of germ-tube tests and chlamydospore development tests for Candida albicans and to that of the ATB ID32C kit (API, bioMérieux, France) for Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei.
