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 aspergillosis (IA) is the most common invasive fungal infection following a hematopoietic cell transplant, with emerging cryptic species exhibiting resistance to commonly used antifungals such as azoles. These species have been increasingly found after the introduction of anti-mold prophylaxis. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with primary myelofibrosis whose allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant was complicated by disseminated fungal infection (skin, lung) due to Aspergillus calidoustus, a cryptic specie. Treatment of Aspergillus species remains challenging as these cryptic species are usually resistant to azoles including voriconazole which is the first line of treatment of IA. Infection was successfully treated with surgical excision and combination antifungal therapy based on in vitro susceptibility and synergy testing. Therapy included isavuconazole, a drug that has been shown to be non-inferior to voriconazole in the treatment of invasive mold infections.
