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

Posaconazole enteric-coated tablet and oral suspension are two oral drugs in the treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFIs). This study compared the effectiveness and safety between posaconazole enteric-coated tablet and oral suspension, and provided a real world basis for the clinical practice. A retrospective cohort study was performed on IFIs patients treated with posaconazole enteric-coated tablet or oral suspension. The primary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, treatment discontinuation rate and clinical effective rate. The secondary endpoints were adverse events incidence (liver dysfunction, renal dysfunction and hypokalemia). One hundred and forty-four patients were totally included and divided into enteric-coated tablet group (n = 46) and oral suspension group (n = 98). There was no significant difference in effectiveness and safety between two groups. The female (OR = 0.130, P = 0.018) and diabetes mellitus (OR = 4.242, P = 0.003) were independently associated with combined in-hospital mortality/treatment discontinuation rate. The renal replacement therapy (OR = 10.071, P = 0.006), hypoalbuminemia (OR = 6.646, P = 0.002) and posaconazole duration (OR = 1.119, P = 0.002) were risk factors for liver dysfunction. The posaconazole enteric-coated tablet has comparable effectiveness and safety with oral suspension in IFIs, which need large-scale cases studies to confirm in the future.
