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

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common but serious complication encountered in patients with cancer and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this prospective study, 63 patients with solid tumors under chemotherapy or immunotherapy were admitted to the hospital due to febrile neutropenia, confirmed through clinical or microbiological documentation. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the epidemiological and microbiological characteristics of hospitalized neutropenic patients with solid tumors undergoing treatment. Additionally, we aimed to assess the duration of neutropenia and identify factors influencing patient outcomes. The median age of patients was 71 ± 10.2 years, most of which were males (66.7%), and the primitive tumor location was the lung (38.1%), with most patients (82.5%) being at disease stage IV. The median duration of neutropenia was three days (range 1-10), and, notably, mucositis was significantly associated with neutropenia lasting ≥3 days (
