Antifungal usage in children undergoing intensive treatment for acute myeloid leukemia: analysis of the multicenter clinical trial AML-BFM 93.
Trial report in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We retrospectively analyzed the antifungal usage in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Overall, 211 of 304 patients (69.4%) received a total of 389 antifungal treatment episodes. In 234 episodes, initial antifungal treatment consisted of amphotericin B [as monotherapy, n = 193; median dosage (range) of amphotericin B deoxycholate 0.6 mg/kg per day (0.02-1.5 mg/kg per day) and of liposomal amphotericin B 3.0 mg/kg per day (0.6-30 mg/kg per day)], in 149 episodes of fluconazole [as monotherapy, n = 143; 5 mg/kg per day (1-29 mg/kg per day)], in 40 of flucytosine [as monotherapy, n = 1; 150 mg/kg per day (40-370 mg/kg per day)], and in 9 of itraconazole [as monotherapy, n = 8; 6 mg/kg per day (1.6-20 mg/kg per day)]. We conclude that the majority of children with AML receives at least one episode of antifungal therapy. Inappropriate dosing and combination of antimycotics need to be addressed in future educational measures.
