An Institutional Febrile Neutropenia Protocol Improved the Antibacterial Treatment and Encouraged the Development of a Computerized Clinical Decision Support System.

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
We investigated the influence of a local guideline on the quality of febrile neutropenia (FN) management and the applicability of a computerized decision support system (CDSS) using real-life data. The study included 227 FN patients between April 2016 and January 2019. The primary outcome measure was the achievement of a 20% increase in the rate of appropriate empirical treatment of FN in bacteremic patients. The compatibility of the CDSS (the development of which was completed in November 2021) with local protocols was tested using standard patient scenarios and empirical antibiotic recommendations for bacteremic FN patients. In total, 91 patients were evaluated before (P1: between April 2016 and May 2017) and 136 after (P2: between May 2017 and January 2019) the guideline's release (May 2017). The demographic characteristics were similar. Appropriate empirical antibacterial treatment was achieved in 58.3% of P1 and 88.1% of P2 patients (
