Infections and Their Outcomes in Cancer Patients With and Without Neutropenia: A Single-Center Experience.

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 Patients with cancer are at a high risk of developing infections due to immunosuppression resulting from cancer treatment. Infections may occur both during neutropenic and non-neutropenic episodes and negatively impact outcomes both in terms of hospital stay and mortality. In this study, we aimed to determine the infection types, microbiological picture of infections, their outcomes, and associated factors in cancer patients during neutropenic and non-neutropenic episodes. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Medical Oncology, Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in northern India. A total of 82 cancer patients with infections between August 2021 and July 2022 were included in this study. Results A total of 82 patients had 96 episodes of infections. Out of 82 patients, 24 (29.3%) had hematological malignancies, and 58 (70.7%) had solid malignancies. The majority of episodes (n = 60; 62.5%) were seen in patients with solid malignancies, and the rest (n = 36; 37.5%) of them were seen in patients with hematological malignancies. Among all the episodes of infection, 28 (29.2%) were encountered during neutropenic episodes, while the rest (n = 68; 70.8%) of the incidences were encountered during non-neutropenic episodes. Out of 28 neutropenic episodes of infection, the majority (n = 23; 82.1%) occurred in patients with hematological malignancies. An absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of <500 cells/mm
