Comparison of the API Candida system with the AUXACOLOR system for identification of common yeast pathogens.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 commercial systems for the identification of yeasts were evaluated by using 159 clinical isolates that had also been identified by conventional biochemical and morphological methods. The API Candida system correctly identified 146 isolates (91.8%), and the AUXACOLOR system correctly identified 145 isolates (91.2%). However, of the 146 isolates identified by the API Candida system, 23 required supplemental biochemical tests or morphological assessment to obtain the correct identification. The AUXACOLOR system gave no identification in 13 cases (8.2%), while the API Candida system gave an unreadable profile in only one case. Incorrect identifications were more common with the API Candida system (12 isolates; 7.5%) than with the AUXACOLOR system (1 isolate; 0.6%).
