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

Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reacting with different Candida albicans mannan oligomannosidic epitopes were used to detect antigens in human sera. The first MAb reacted with alpha-linked mannose residues shared by mannoproteins, and the second displayed reactivity against beta-1,2-linked oligomannosides shared by phospholipomannan. Two latex agglutination tests performed after dissociation of serum immune complexes were 100% specific. In a retrospective analysis of 39 sera from 20 patients with candidiasis, each test detected seven patients; in combination, they detected ten. More than 60% of positive samples were positive with only one test. These results demonstrate that the clearance of Candida albicans antigens from the blood differs according to the type of oligomannoside and glycoconjugate. Antigen detection kits with MAbs to different Candida albicans mannan epitopes could provide a logical rationale to compensate for the transitory character of mannanemia detection during candidal infections.
