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

We aimed to analyze infections in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) until engraftment. The spectrum and risk factors associated will help plan interventions to reduce mortality. We performed a retrospective analysis on the infections, associated risk factors, and mortality until engraftment in children up to 18 years of age undergoing HSCT from January 2017 to August 2020. A total of 399 children were included, with a male: female ratio of 1.9:1, with matched related donor HSCT in 36.6%, a matched unrelated donor in 18.3%, and haploidentical HSCT in 38.1% of children. Culture positive bacteremia was documented in 22.1% transplants with gram-negative bacteria (GNB) isolated in 71/88 (80%). Among the GNB, the predominant organism was Klebsiella pneumonia in 38 (53%), E.coli in 16 (22%), Pseudomonas in 9 (12%). Carbapenem resistance was documented in 24/71 (33%). The incidence of possible, probable, and proven fungal infections in the cohort was 63 (15%), 28 (7%), and 6 (1.5%), respectively. Mortality up to engraftment due to sepsis in our cohort is 3.3% (n = 13). There was a significant association between mortality and a perianal focus (30.8%,
