1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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) in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a common phenomenon in developing countries. In a systematic study (Dual Inducing Differentiating agents-Indian Trial: DID-IT) using dual differentiating agents (ATO and ATRA) in 98 APL patients at our center we report 18.3% incidence of IFI (n-18). Among all cases of IFI three were definitive, 14 were probable and one was possible IFI. We conclude that incidence of IFI in APL is affected by environmental and therapy related factors and mere usage of dual differentiating agents need not necessarily decrease the incidence of fungal infections.
