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

We report an unusual case of co-infection of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) and fusarial skin infection in a patient with classic pyoderma gangrenosum with unknown causes, which were previously controlled with oral prednisolone, cyclosporine. The diagnosis was made on direct microscopy and culture of endobronchial washing, bronchoalveolar lavage and skin lesion biopsy. The treatment failed, and the patient expired 12 days following hospitalization. This report highlights the rarity of coexistence of IPA and a chronic fusarial skin infection and thereby reinforcing the physician's attention toward the possibility of invasive fungal infection in the immunosuppressed patients.
