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

objectivesWe aimed to report the emergence of azole-resistant invasive aspergillosis in hematologic patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Spain during the last 4 months.

methodsProspective, descriptive study was performed to describe and follow all consecutive proven and probable invasive aspergillosis resistant to azoles from hematological cohort during the last 4 months. All patients had fungal cultures and antifungal susceptibility or real-time PCR detection for Aspergillus species and real-time PCR detection for azole-resistant mutation.

resultsFour cases of invasive aspergillosis were diagnosed in 4 months. Three of them had azole-resistant aspergillosis. Microbiological diagnosis was achieved in three cases by means of fungal culture isolation and subsequent antifungal susceptibility whereas one case was diagnosed by PCR-based aspergillus and azole resistance detection. All the azole-resistant aspergillosis presented TR34/L98H mutation. Patients with azole-resistant aspergillosis had different hematologic diseases: multiple myeloma, lymphoblastic acute leukemia, and angioimmunoblastic T lymphoma. Regarding risk factors, one had prolonged neutropenia, two had corticosteroids, and two had viral co-infection. Two of the patients developed aspergillosis under treatment with azoles.

conclusionWe have observed a heightened risk of azole-resistant aspergillosis caused by A. fumigatus harboring the TR
