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 management of febrile neutropenia (FN) in oncohematological patients is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by a deeper understanding of patients' pathophysiological heterogeneity, the increasing speed and accuracy of microbiological diagnostics, the emergence of new antibiotics, and the incorporation of predictive artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to support clinical decision-making. Our objective is to provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the factors influencing antibiotic treatment in FN. We propose that its management should be based on three essential pillars. First, accurate risk stratification for bacterial infection. Second, ensuring that patients receive appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy, tailoring the initial choice according to the results of surveillance cultures from oropharyngeal and/or fecal microbiota. Finally, prioritizing antibiotic choices that preserve intestinal microbiota eubiosis as much as possible. Reducing colonization and overgrowth of facultative aerobic/anaerobic flora (Enterobacteriaceae, non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli, and
