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

Mucormycosis is a fungal infection with fulminant angioinvasion leading to high morbidity and mortality in susceptible individuals. The major predisposing conditions are uncontrolled diabetes, neutropenia, malignancies, receipt of a transplant and traumatic injury [1]. Over the past decade, mucormycosis has become an emerging fungal infection due to the increase in patient groups presenting with these pre-disposing conditions and our medical advances in diagnosing the infection [2-4]. Yet, we currently lack clinical interventions to treat mucormycosis effectively. This in turn is due to a lack of understanding of mucormycosis pathogenesis. Here, we discuss our current understanding of selected aspects of interactions at the mucormycete-host interface. We will highlight open questions that might guide future research directions for investigations into the pathogenesis of mucormycosis and potential innovative therapeutic approaches.
