Risk-based antifungal prophylaxis in hematologic malignancy and stem cell transplantation.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2009. 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
Invasive fungal infection (IFI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic malignancy, prolonged neutropenia, or after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Antifungal prophylaxis prevents IFI in high-risk hematology patients. This article discusses recent developments in antifungal prophylaxis, focusing on those expected to affect patient management. Significant advances have occurred in understanding risk stratification and assessment of individual patient risk for drug-drug interactions, toxicity, or variations in pharmacokinetics; choice of antifungal prophylaxis strategy, drug, dose, route, and regimen; therapeutic drug monitoring; cost effectiveness of prophylaxis; and the significance of breakthrough IFI. Research over the coming decade is likely to fundamentally alter antifungal prophylaxis by allowing clinicians to make individualized decisions for their patients informed by rapid, detailed, and personalized risk-benefit analyses.
