Practicing Antimicrobial Stewardship: De-Escalating Antibiotics in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Neutropenic Fever.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We compared risk of recurrent fever in patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing induction chemotherapy with febrile neutropenia without an infectious source in which antibacterials were de-escalated before neutrophil recovery versus continued. There was less recurrent fever when antibacterials were de-escalated early with no increased adverse events.
