Clinical and laboratory diagnosis of invasive candida infection in neutropenic patients.
Review in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 1996. 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
Cancer patients, especially those with acute leukaemia, represent a group that has the greatest risk for deep fungal infection. Almost no cases were seen before the advent of modern chemotherapy, and prior to the availability of antibacterial agents, less than 5% of patients with acute leukaemia died of fungal infection. These infections are now responsible for 40% or more of the deaths at some institutions. Candida species continues to be the most common fungal pathogen. Rapid and specific diagnosis of invasive candiosis enabling early effective therapy is therefore an important measure for reducing mortality in patients. Here the current status of clinical and laboratory diagnosis of invasive candida infection in neutropenic patients is discussed and recommendations made as to future development programmes.
