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

Purpose: Patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are often followed by bloodstream infections (BSIs). BSI is an important cause of non-relapse mortality (NRM) in HSCT patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients (aged >14 years) who underwent HSCT at our hospital from 2017 to 2021. Population characteristics, BSI microbiology, resistance to common antibiotics, and 30-day all-cause mortality were analyzed. Results: Of 3054 patients, 169 (5.5%) had BSIs after HSCT. Male, not in complete remission at transplantation and longer duration of neutropenia were risk factors for the development of BSI after HSCT. These BSIs were Gram-negative bacterial (n=123, 69.49%), Gram-positive bacterial (n=27, 15.25%), fungal (n=11, 6.36%), and polymicrobial (n=16, 9.25%). Among the Gram-negative bacteria, the proportions of isolates resistant to ceftazidime, cefepime, and piperacillin-tazobactam were similar (72.93%, 74.80%, and 77.42%, respectively). The overall drug resistance rates of amikacin and imipenem were 16.13% and 43.90%, respectively. Conclusion: Our study reveals the microbiological characteristics and 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with bloodstream infections after HSCT. Our data provides strong support for empirical antimicrobial therapy and infection prevention strategies for patients with BSIs after HSCT.
