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

Paediatric invasive fungal infections have significantly increased over the past few decades, in particular among the immunocompromised population. Candida and Aspergillus spp. are still the most commonly isolated organisms. Image-based assessment of fungal infections can indeed be challenging especially in oncological patients where the differential diagnosis relative to other infections and neoplastic lesions cannot be often obvious. Therefore, the knowledge of the main radiological features associated with fungal infections is crucial to achieve an early correct diagnosis and address the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Thus, our aim was to review the main radiological features of paediatric fungal infections with particular focus on positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), referring to the experience of our tertiary level hospital.
