Epidemiology and Prevention of Invasive Aspergillosis.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Aspergillus species are the most common causes of invasive mold infections in immunocompromised persons. This review examines the available information regarding the rising incidence of invasive aspergillosis in different high-risk groups, including persons with acute leukemia, hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, and liver and lung transplant recipients. The risk factors for infection in these groups are discussed. Because Aspergillus species are widespread in the environment, it is difficult to link specific sources and exposures to the development of human infections. However, molecular strain typing and other studies indicate that a significant number of Aspergillus infections are now being acquired outside the health care setting, either before patients are admitted to hospital, or after they have been discharged. The role of environmental control measures and antifungal drug prophylaxis in the prevention of hospital- and community-acquired aspergillosis is discussed.
