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 aimed to provide real-life information about the effectivity of different types of primary antifungal prophylaxis (AFP) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Records of AML patients who received remission-induction chemotherapy between June 2010 and February 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 85 AML remission-induction chemotherapy cycles were identified in 80 patients. Fluconazole prophylaxis (FP) was administered in 29 cycles, and posaconazole prophylaxis was given in 56 cycles. Failure in the AFP was observed in 45 (57.9 %) out of 85 cycles. Any type of invasive fungal diseases were detected in 15 (26.8 %) out of 56 cycles receiving posaconazole and 15 (51.7 %) out of 29 cycles receiving fluconazole (p = 0.023). Relapsing or refractory AML, longer duration of neutropenia and FP were more common in patients with AFP failure. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that type of AFP (odds ratio (OR) 3.63; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.19-11.07), presence of neutropenia longer than 21 days (OR 3.96; 95 % CI 1.36-11.46), and refractory or relapsing AML (OR 6.09; 95 % CI 2.09-17.73) were independent factors associated with failure of AFP. We observed superiority of posaconazole on fluconazole in the prophylaxis of AML patients receiving remission-induction chemotherapy.
