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

backgroundDespite progress in diagnostic, prevention, and treatment strategies, invasive mold infections (IMIs) remain the leading cause of mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients.

methodsWe describe the incidence, risk factors, and mortality of allo-HCT recipients with proven/probable IMI in a retrospective single-center 10-year (01/01/2010-01/01/2020) cohort study.

resultsAmong 515 allo-HCT recipients, 48 (9.3%) patients developed 51 proven/probable IMI: invasive aspergillosis (IA; 34/51, 67%), mucormycosis (9/51, 18%), and other molds (8/51, 15%). Overall, 35/51 (68.6%) breakthrough IMIs (bIMIs) were identified: 22/35 (62.8%) IA and 13/35 (37.1%) non-IA IMI. One-year IMI cumulative incidence was 7%: 4.9% and 2.1% for IA and non-IA IMI, respectively. Fourteen (29.2 %), 10 (20.8%), and 24 (50.0%) patients were diagnosed during the first 30, 31-180, and >180 days post-HCT, respectively. Risk factors for IMI included prior allo-HCT (sub hazard ratio [SHR], 4.06;

conclusionsIA mortality has remained relatively unchanged during the last 2 decades. More than two-thirds of allo-HCT recipients with IMI die by 1 year post-IMI diagnosis. Dedicated intensified research efforts are required to further improve clinical outcomes.
