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

Scedosporium aurantiacum is one of the emergent opportunistic fungal pathogens among immunocompromised hosts. Colonization of S. aurantiacum can also occur in patients with underlying lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis. S. aurantiacum is highly resistant to multiple antifungal agents, and management of the infected patients can be very challenging compared to those infected with other species of Scedosporium. Clinical cases have been geographically restricted mostly in Australia with a small number of cases identified in Europe and Japan. Although clinical isolates of S. aurantiacum from the USA have been included in several research studies, no clinical case of S. aurantiacum infection from the USA has been described. We report a case of S. aurantiacum infection acquired in the SA. Awareness of S. aurantiacum among healthcare providers and the species-level identification for Scedosporium are critically important for appropriate selection of antifungal agents and improvement of treatment outcomes.
