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

Background: Hepatosplenic candidiasis (HSC) used to be reported in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) without antifungal prophylaxis. The aim was to describe the clinical features and outcomes of HSC over the last 13 years in a single French hematology center. Methods: All patients diagnosed with HSC between 2008 and 2020 were included in a single-center retrospective cohort study. Data were collected from patient charts, and HSC was classified according to the 2020 European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer/Mycoses Study Group definitions. Results: Sixty patients were included, with 18.3% proven, 3.3% probable, and 78.3% possible HSC according to the 2020 European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Mycoses Study Group classification. Among them, 19 patients were treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 21 for lymphomas, and 14 for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. HSC occurred in 13 patients after autologous stem cell transplantation for lymphoma. At HSC diagnosis, 13 patients were receiving antifungal prophylaxis. Conclusions: The epidemiology of HSC has changed in the last decade, with fewer cases occurring in the AML setting. A better identification of patients at risk could lead to specific prophylaxis and improved diagnosis.
