Invasive Fungal Disease in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Japan: A Retrospective Database Study.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies. As chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a rare hematological malignancy in Japan, IFD incidence in Japanese patients with CLL is unclear. This study aimed to investigate IFD incidence in Japanese patients with CLL. This retrospective cohort study used data of patients with CLL registered between April 2008 and December 2019 in the Medical Data Vision database (n = 3484). IFD incidence after CLL diagnosis in the watch-and-wait (WW) and drug therapy (DT) groups was 1.5% and 9.2%, respectively. The most common type of IFD was invasive aspergillosis (28.1%). Cox proportional hazards multivariate analysis revealed that DT (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.13) and steroid use (HR: 4.19) were significantly associated with IFD occurrence. IFD incidence was significantly higher in the DT group than in the WW group (log-rank p < 0.001); however, there was no significant between-group difference in the time to IFD onset or the type of IFD (p = 0.09). This study determined the incidence of IFD in patients with CLL during WW. Physicians should monitor for IFD, even among patients with CLL undergoing the WW protocol.
