Genetic diversity among clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus.
Article in Infection and immunity, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 56 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 determine if cases of invasive aspergillosis (IA) were caused by strains of Aspergillus fumigatus with unique characteristics, strains from immunosuppressed patients with IA were compared to strains obtained from sputa of patients with cystic fibrosis and to strains from the environment. An extremely high genomic diversity was observed among the 879 strains typed by Southern blotting with a retrotransposon-like element from A. fumigatus (C. Neuvéglise, J. Sarfati, J. P. Latgé, and S. Paris, Nucleic Acids Res. 24:1428-1434, 1996). Analysis of Southern blot hybridization patterns showed the absence of clustering between environmental isolates and clinical isolates from patients with IA or cystic fibrosis. In addition, strains could not be clustered depending on their geographical location. This study implies that practically any strain of A. fumigatus is potentially pathogenic and can provoke a case of IA when it encounters a favorable environment in an immunosuppressed host.
