Fungal colonization and CLAD in lung transplant recipients: Implications for antifungal prophylaxis and graft survival.
Article in JHLT open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Fungal colonization is common after lung transplantation, but its relationship with chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains uncertain. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 220 adult lung transplant recipients between 2018 and 2022 at a high-volume transplant center. Colonization was defined by positive respiratory cultures without evidence of invasive fungal infection. The primary outcome was development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), the predominant phenotype of CLAD. The analytic cohort comprised consecutive recipients meeting inclusion criteria, with exclusions for multiorgan or redo transplant, insufficient follow-up data, and clinically relevant pulmonary infections during follow-up, specifically invasive fungal infection and bacterial pneumonia. Multivariable cox regression models were used to examine associations between colonization and BOS-CLAD. Results: Fungal colonization occurred in 121 of 220 recipients (55%), most commonly Conclusions: In this single-center cohort, fungal colonization-particularly with
