Risk Factors for Invasive Fungal Infection in Lung Transplant Recipients on Universal Antifungal Prophylaxis.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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: Many centers use universal antifungal prophylaxis after lung transplant, but risk factors for invasive fungal infection (IFI) in this setting are poorly described. Methods: This retrospective, single-center cohort study including 603 lung transplant recipients assessed risk factors for early (within 90 days of transplant) invasive candidiasis (IC) and invasive mold infection (IMI) and late (90-365 days after transplant) IMI using Cox proportional hazard regression. Results: In this cohort, 159 (26.4%) patients had 182 IFIs. Growth of yeast on donor culture (hazard ratio [HR], 3.30; 95% CI, 1.89-5.75) and prolonged length of stay (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03) were associated with early IC risk, whereas transplantation in 2016 or 2017 (HR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.06-0.70; HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.08-0.80, respectively) and female recipient sex (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.30-0.93) were associated with reduced risk. Antimold therapy (HR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.06-0.78) was associated with lower early IMI risk, and female donor sex (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.22-0.72) was associated with lower late IMI risk. Recent rejection was a risk factor for late IMI (HR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.02-2.95), and renal replacement therapy predisposed to early IC, early IMI, and late IMI (HR, 5.67; 95% CI, 3.01-10.67; HR, 7.54; 95% CI, 1.93-29.45; HR, 5.33; 95% CI, 1.46-19.49, respectively). Conclusions: In lung transplant recipients receiving universal antifungal prophylaxis, risk factors for early IC, early IMI, and late IMI differ.
