Antibiotic therapy in hematological neutropenic patients: what is the news?
Article in Leukemia supplements, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bacterial infection is a very common complication in hematological neutropenic patients whose treatment is extremely challenging for several reasons. First, they are frequently caused by resistant pathogens (multidrug resistant (MDR)), and this may limit the availability of effective therapeutic weapons. Second, these patients often present peculiar pathophysiological conditions that may alter the pharmacokinetic behavior of antimicrobials, and this may explain the need for a new administration schedule and new dosing regimens of antibiotics in this setting. In an era in which there are only few new therapeutic weapons for the treatment of MDR bacterial infections, while advocating for new drugs, what could be effectively done nowadays is to increase the knowledge on appropriateness of the use of currently available drugs to improve clinical outcome and to preserve their activity.
