[Treatment of infections in the critically ill under immunosuppression : What must be considered?]
Review in Zeitschrift fur Rheumatologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Patients under immunosuppressive treatment have a much higher risk for severe infections and sepsis. The morbidity and mortality of severe infections in critically ill patients are high but the prognosis is not different from immunocompetent patients if diagnosed early and treated adequately, especially in high volume centers. A high level of clinical alertness for infectious complications is essential for rapid and adequate diagnosis and treatment. The established principles for treatment of sepsis are also valid for immunocompromized patients, i.e. rapid initiation of antibiotic treatment, focal control and rapid supportive treatment according to the current guidelines on sepsis. In patients with the corresponding clinical signs and not responding to initial empirical treatment, opportunistic infections as rare causes of sepsis have to be taken into account. To prevent development or selection of resistance due to broad spectrum treatment, the empirical treatment should always focus on the specific pathogen detected.
