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

Antimicrobial resistance is an important clinical challenge in patients with hematologic malignancies, who are highly susceptible to severe infections due to prolonged neutropenia, disrupted mucosal barriers, intensive chemotherapy, and hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. This systematic review synthesizes available international evidence on pathogen distribution, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and clinical outcomes in hemato-oncology settings. This systematic review searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for English-language studies published from January 2014 to 15 November 2025. Studies reporting microbiologically confirmed infections in patients with hematologic malignancies, with extractable antimicrobial susceptibility or resistance data, were included. Due to substantial clinical, microbiological, methodological, and epidemiological heterogeneity, findings were synthesized qualitatively. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Gram-negative bacteria predominated across most settings, although pathogen distribution varied by region, age group, infection type, and denominator unit. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing
