Invasive Fungal Infection Complicating Treatment With Ibrutinib.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ibrutinib is a selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other B-cell malignancies. Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) have recently been reported in patients on BTKis despite the absence of significant immunocompromise raising great interest among oncologists regarding the mechanism by which BTKi's permit fungal infections. Here, we describe a fatal case of cerebral aspergillosis in a patient with relapsed CLL while on treatment with ibrutinib. There are few hypotheses on the mechanism by which ibrutinib permits fungal infections. As it becomes more widely used in B-cell cancers, clinicians should be aware of the potential for decreased anti-fungal immunity with this drug.
