      <title>Comparing seven consumer gut microbiome testing services</title>
      <link>https://candipedia.org/en/research/consumer-microbiome-test-comparison-2026/</link>
      <guid>https://candipedia.org/en/research/consumer-microbiome-test-comparison-2026/</guid>
      <sourceLink>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41748906/</sourceLink>
      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/broad-candida-claims/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The comparison supports caution when interpreting consumer stool microbiome reports but cannot validate or invalidate a specific Candida diagnosis or determine patient benefit.</description>

      <title>Nystatin for presumed Candida-related systemic symptoms</title>
      <link>https://candipedia.org/en/research/nystatin-candida-systemic-symptoms-1990/</link>
      <guid>https://candipedia.org/en/research/nystatin-candida-systemic-symptoms-1990/</guid>
      <sourceLink>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2247104/</sourceLink>
      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/broad-candida-claims/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The trial does not support long-term nystatin for the tested broad systemic-symptom syndrome, while its result must not be generalized to other drugs or recognized candidiasis.</description>

      <title>Probiotics alongside antifungals for vulvovaginal candidiasis</title>

      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/broad-candida-claims/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The review does not establish durable benefit, recurrence prevention, monotherapy benefit, or a recommendation for a probiotic product or strain.</description>

      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/recurrent-vaginal-yeast-symptoms/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The study informs history and appointment preparation but cannot establish diagnosis or prove that a tool improves outcomes.</description>

      <title>Maintenance treatment for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis</title>
      <link>https://candipedia.org/en/research/rvvc-maintenance-treatment-review-2022/</link>

      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/recurrent-vaginal-yeast-symptoms/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The review supports maintenance as control during treatment, not a reliable long-term cure or an individualized regimen ranking.</description>

      <title>Oral versus topical maintenance treatment for RVVC</title>
      <link>https://candipedia.org/en/research/rvvc-oral-vs-topical-maintenance-2026/</link>

      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/recurrent-vaginal-yeast-symptoms/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The direct evidence preserves the current no-route-ranking conclusion rather than establishing equivalence or superiority.</description>

      <title>How recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis affects quality of life</title>
      <link>https://candipedia.org/en/research/rvvc-quality-of-life-2019/</link>

      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/recurrent-vaginal-yeast-symptoms/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The study supports taking the burden seriously but does not determine diagnosis, treatment, or safety routing.</description>

      <title>Small-intestinal fungal overgrowth in a specialist referral cohort</title>

      <sourceLink>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23574267/</sourceLink>
      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/broad-candida-claims/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. This study supports an aspirate-defined clinical SIFO boundary and shows that symptoms alone were poor predictors; it does not validate broad symptom-based Candida diagnoses or establish treatment benefit.</description>

      <evidenceMapLink>https://candipedia.org/en/research/evidence/recurrent-vaginal-yeast-symptoms/</evidenceMapLink>
      <description>No practical change. The review updates comparative estimates but supports keeping route choice separate from a strict efficacy ranking.</description>
