Incidence of infection in patients with acute myeloid leukemia receiving high-dose cytarabine consolidation.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2024. 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
Infection risk during high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) consolidation following induction therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is not well understood complicating decisions regarding antimicrobial prophylaxis during this period. We performed a retrospective chart review of adult patients with AML undergoing HiDAC consolidation between June 2016 and November 2021 at our institution. The primary endpoint was microbiologically confirmed infection within 30 days of HiDAC administration. This study included 111 patients who received a total of 264 cycles of HiDAC therapy. 36% of patients undergoing HiDAC consolidation had at least 1 infection over the course of their consolidation therapy. Infection complicated 18% of HiDAC cycles. The majority of infections were bacterial (81%), primarily caused by gram-negative organisms. Fluoroquinolone prophylaxis was associated with a lower hazard of bacterial infection (HR 0.46, 95% CI 0.24, 0.88). However, 26% of bacterial infections broke through antibiotic therapy with multiple cases concerning for fluoroquinolone resistance. Viral and fungal infections were rare (14% and 3% of infections respectively).
