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

The FUNDICU consensus was conceived with the aim of developing a standard set of definitions for invasive fungal diseases in non-neutropenic, intensive care unit patients outside the classical immunocompromised patient populations, which could improve the generalizability and comparability of research findings. In this letter, we report the first results of an original study exploring as to whether some potential additional criteria could be consistent in terms of results and prognostic impact with those defining probable invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in the original FUNDICU consensus, focusing in particular on any possible role of chest X-ray.
