Nosocomial Candida glabrata colonization: an epidemiologic study.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
Candida glabrata has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, yet little is known about its epidemiology. We prospectively followed 98 patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit and the bone marrow transplant unit of a university hospital. Samples from environmental surfaces and the hands of hospital personnel were also cultured. Patients with newly acquired C. glabrata strains were compared to controls who were culture negative for C. glabrata. C. glabrata was recovered from multiple sites from 24 patients and three environmental surfaces. Sixteen patients (17%) acquired C. glabrata after admission to the study units. Significant risk factors for the nosocomial acquisition of C. glabrata were prolonged duration of hospitalization in the unit and prior antimicrobial use. Strain delineation by restriction enzyme analysis revealed 28 different strains of C. glabrata; three strain types were common to nine patients. The environmental isolates were of the same strain type and common to five patients (four patients with newly acquired strains). These results suggest the possibility of exogenous nosocomial acquisition of C. glabrata, including the possible acquisition from the hospital environment. Transmission may be by indirect contact since identical strains of C. glabrata were recovered from patients who were geographically and temporally associated.
