Routine Infectious Disease Consultation Prior to an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: A transplant infectious disease (TID) assessment is essential to select recipients for an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and tailor prophylactic and empirical treatment recommendations. Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center study to describe our model of care based on a routine TID consultation prior to an allogeneic HCT between 2018 and 2022 in 292 adult (≥18-year-old) consecutive patients. We describe the performance of a TID consultation, arbitrarily defined as major (HCT postponement, procedure, cytomegalovirus [CMV] recipient serology reinterpretation) and minor interventions. Results: Overall, 765 interventions were observed in 257 of 292 (88%) patients: 88 of 765 (11.5%) major and 677 of 765 (88.5%) minor interventions. Among major interventions, HCT was postponed in 8 of 292 (2.7%) patients and a procedure was requested in 18 of 292 (6.2%) patients. The CMV recipient serostatus was changed from indeterminate/low-titer positive to negative in 60 of 292 (20.5%) patients. Among 677 minor interventions, there were 68 (8.8%) additional consultations with other services requested, 260 (33.7%) additional diagnostic tests requested, 102 (13.2%) additional treatments recommended, 60 (7.8%) non-CMV serology reinterpretations performed, 115 (14.9%) deviations from routine anti-infective prophylaxis, and 72 (9.3%) deviations from routine empirical antibiotic treatment recommendations in case of neutropenic fever. Conclusions: We are proposing a structured, clearly defined, and comprehensive pretransplant checklist for an effective assessment of infectious disease risks and complications prior to an allogeneic HCT. Further studies or experiences like ours could help to define a global strategy or new models of care to be implemented in HCT centers in the future.
