Follow-up Blood Culture Practices for Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infections in Immunocompromised Hosts at a Large Academic Medical Center.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
10 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 16 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
The role of follow-up blood cultures (FUBCs) in gram-negative bloodstream infections to improve clinical outcomes remains controversial, especially among immunocompromised patients. Among 139 patients, FUBCs were common (117, 84.2%); however, positive FUBCs were rare (3, 2.6%). Only presence of fever was associated with a positive FUBC.
