The role of neutrophils in host defense against invasive fungal infections.
Article in Current clinical microbiology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 77 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
purpose of reviewInvasive fungal infections caused by the commensal yeast RECENT
findingsStudies in mouse models of invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis, and observations in hematological patients with chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and in patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders that manifest with these infections have highlighted the critical role of neutrophils and have identified key immune factors that promote neutrophil-mediated effective host defense against invasive fungal disease. SUMMARY: Neutrophils are crucial in host protection against invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular cues that mediate protective neutrophil recruitment and effector function against these infections hold promise for developing immune-based strategies to improve the outcomes of affected patients.
