Incidence and Clinical Outcomes of Febrile Neutropenia in Adult Cancer Patients with Chemotherapy Using Korean Nationwide Health Insurance Database.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the episodes of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), lung cancer (LC), and breast cancer (BC); and to identify the incidence and trends of admission rates, as well as factors affecting mortality. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing nationwide claims data, all new admissions to hospitals for FN were selected. We evaluated the incidence of FN and mortality-related clinical factors in adult cancer patients who received cytotoxic chemotherapy from January 2004 to December 2013.
resultsWhile the incidence of FN increased, the length of hospitalization decreased in Korea. The incidence of FN was 19.8% in LC patients, 15.5% in GC patients, 13.3% in BC patients, and 9.5% in CRC patients. The overall in-hospital mortality of FN was 12.9% and showed a decreasing trend. Admission rates to intensive care units and in-hospital mortality were the highest for lung cancer (15.2% and 19.3%, respectively). Age and sepsis syndrome were risk factors for in-hospital mortality for all cancer types.
conclusionCareful observation and active prophylaxis should be considered for patients at high risk of FN.
