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

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in patients with hematological disorders. Methods: From January 2023 to January 2025, 67 patients with blood diseases hospitalized at the Hematology Department who were suspected of infection with IFD underwent metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and fungal pathogen detection. Their clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations were retrospectively analyzed. Results: A cohort of 67 patients was enrolled in the study, among which 32 cases were diagnosed with IFD through mNGS and etiological culture, while no fungal pathogens were detected in the remaining 35 cases. The diagnostic yield of mNGS for fungal infection detection (47.76%) demonstrated superior sensitivity compared to conventional pathogenic microbial culture (14.93%), β-D-glucan assay (11.94%), and galactomannan assay (2.99%). Within the IFD cohort, Conclusions: mNGS has high sensitivity in detecting IFD in patients with hematological diseases. Cluster of differentiation 4+ cell count below 400/uL, increased level of C-reactive protein, IL-6, and IL-10, hypoproteinemia, and neutropenia lasting for more than 10 days are independent risk factors for IFD in patients with hematological diseases.
