Postmortem analysis of invasive aspergillosis in a tertiary care hospital.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
To estimate the incidence of fatal invasive aspergillosis in a 1500-bed tertiary-care hospital and to investigate the utility of laboratory diagnostic approaches, necropsy protocols and microbiological data from 1994 and 1995 were reviewed. Among 694 necropsies from 1693 patients who died in these two years, 27 (4%) cases of invasive aspergillosis were identified. Twelve cases of invasive aspergillosis were found after transplantation of solid organs, three after bone marrow transplantation, four in patients with haematological malignancies, and five in patients with solid tumours. In 15 cases (56%) invasive aspergillosis was not suspected before death. In patients in whom serum sampling was performed seven days antemortem, the Aspergillus latex agglutination test had a sensitivity of 53% (9/17). Culture of tracheal secretions or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with pulmonary aspergillosis yielded Aspergillus fumigatus in 88% (14/16).
