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

backgroundAntifungal resistance among Candida species represents a growing clinical challenge, particularly in the context of increasing prevalence of non-albicans species.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 747 fungal isolates collected between 2021 and 2026, evaluating species distribution, antifungal susceptibility profiles, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) patterns, and temporal trends in resistance.

resultsNon-albicans Candida species accounted for 67.5% of isolates, exceeding the proportion of

conclusionsThe study highlights substantial variability in antifungal susceptibility across Candida species and antifungal agents, emphasizing the importance of continuous surveillance and species-specific treatment strategies.
