Invasive Fungal Infections in Renal Transplant Recipients: Epidemiology and Risk Factors.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundInvasive fungal infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among renal transplant recipients.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and risk factors for fungal infections in renal transplant recipients.
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated all kidney transplant recipients at our center from December 1988 to June 2010 for the epidemiology, spectrum, risk factors, and mortality of invasive fungal infections.
resultsIn 32 patients (10.30 %), at least one fungal infection developed after the transplantation. The most common pathogens causing fungal infections in our patients were Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. The independent risk factors associated with invasive fungal infection episodes were antibiotic treatment within the last 3 months (OR 15.88, 95 % CI 3.90-64.73, p < 0.001), cytomegalovirus infection (OR 18.54, 95 % CI 9.01-38.17, p < 0.001), and the presence of diabetes mellitus (OR 6.01, 95 % CI 2.95-12.25, p < 0.001). Mortality was significantly higher among patients with fungal infections than among other patients (53.10 and 17.80 %, respectively; p < 0.001).
conclusionsIt is difficult to diagnose and treat fungal infections early, and it can be useful to determine independent risk factors in order to identify and treat high-risk patients.
