Fungal infection in lung transplant recipients in perioperative period from one lung transplant center.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to analyze the distribution and prophylaxis strategy of pathogens causing fungal infection in lung transplant recipients from cardiac-brain dead donors in the perioperative period to provide evidence for antifungal prophylaxis and treatment in lung transplant recipients.
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated 194 lung transplant recipients from January 2015 to December 2016. Fungal pathogens were isolated and identified from respiratory tract cultures before and after transplantation in the perioperative period. The galactomannan (GM) testing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) might facilitate the diagnosis of
resultsA total of 31 cases of fungal strains isolated from the 194 recipients were identified prior to lung transplantation, and the positive rate was 16.0% (31/194). A total of 27 cases of isolated fungal strains in the 194 recipients were identified, and the positive rate after lung transplantation was 13.9% (27/194) in the perioperative period. A total of 54 cases with positive fungal infection (27.8%) were detected before and after lung transplantation. Overall, 10.3% (20/194) of the lung transplant recipients developed fungal infection in the observation period. The most common fungal pathogens were filamentous fungi and
conclusionsOur data suggested that fungi were frequently isolated before and after transplantation from respiratory samples. However, the incidence of invasive fungal infection in lung transplant recipients in the perioperative period was relatively low. Targeted antifungal prophylaxis and treatment should be applied on the basis of the fungal distribution status of different individuals.
