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 authors report the case of a 58-year-old female patient with a life-threatening invasive fungal disease caused by a coinfection of Aspergillus and Mucor species that occurred during induction and consolidation chemotherapy for an acute myeloid leukemia. The disease was successfully treated with an aggressive therapeutic approach, which consisted of liposomal amphotericin B in combination with surgical exploration without compromising the treatment of her underlying disease. The case demonstrates the difficulties associated with establishing a diagnosis as well as the need for close observation to identify these infections, which are often misdiagnosed and only suspected late during the course of the disease. Doubts about the reliability of the diagnostic tools lead to uncertainties with regard to the choice of first-line drugs as well the selection of the most appropriate therapeutic strategy in hematologic patients.
