Secondary Antifungal Prophylaxis in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)/Acute Leukemia Patients.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In this review, the role of secondary antifungal prophylaxis (SAP) in prevention of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in patients with leukemia and in those receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is discussed. A history of IFI is not an absolute contraindication for allo-HSCT or continuation of cytotoxic chemotherapy, provided that SAP is administered. We suggest that the last antifungal drug successfully used for treatment of the previous IFI is also used for SAP; during SAP, we propose an algorithm of thorough clinical, radiological and microbiological monitoring with monthly CT scan and twice weekly galactomannan assays. However, the optimal preventive strategy for patients with a prior IFI has not been defined and concerted efforts are warranted to optimize the management of affected patients.
