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

Lung transplant is a potential life-saving procedure for chronic lung diseases. Lung transplant recipients (LTRs) are at the greatest risk for invasive fungal infections (IFIs) among solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients because the allograft is directly exposed to fungi in the environment, airway and lung host defenses are impaired, and immunosuppressive regimens are particularly intense. IFIs occur within a year of transplant in 3-19% of LTRs, and they are associated with high mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and excess healthcare costs. The most common causes of post-LT IFIs are Aspergillus and Candida spp.; less common pathogens are Mucorales, other non-Aspergillus moulds,
