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

Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic invasive fungal infection that disproportionately affects immunocompromised hosts and carries high morbidity and mortality. It is traditionally treated with combined pharmacologic and surgical modalities. Here we present a case of pulmonary mucormycosis in a patient whose disease burden precluded surgical management, and in whom acute kidney injury necessitated therapy with an alternative to the recommended pharmacologic antifungal therapy.
