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: Invasive fungal infections are an increasing problem in immunosuppressed patients. In patients with the central nervous system involvement, there is a high case fatality rate. There is a very limited experience with infections caused by Case Description: We report the case of a 53-year-old woman with acute myeloid leukemia. After primary therapy with daunorubicin, cytarabine, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin, the patient developed pneumonia and later neurological symptoms caused by multiple gadolinium-enhancing brain lesions in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Stereotactic biopsy of a frontal precentral lesion was performed and revealed HA infection. The patient died in the further course secondary to cardiopulmonary problems. Conclusion: Stereotactic biopsy is a safe way to establish the diagnosis of unclear lesions such as HA infection. We recommend to perform stereotactic biopsy early in immunocompromised patients with brain lesions to guide further treatment.
