Cutaneous Mucormycosis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients after Hurricane Harvey: Short- and Long-term Management.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In the fall of 2017, Hurricane Harvey, one of the most costly hurricanes in American history, ravaged the Texas Gulf Coast, interrupting basic sanitation systems to hundreds of thousands of Texas residents. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, our Houston hospitals noted an uptick in the incidence of cases of mucormycosis. Among the most vulnerable and affected have been immunocompromised transplant recipients. Here, we describe the successful management of 2 patients with atypical presentations of mucormycosis, 2 cutaneous infections after liver transplantation. Our comprehensive treatment strategy based upon guidelines and experience included coordinating aggressive surgical and medical therapies. We discuss our approach to surgical management including the extent and frequency of debridement, the methods of assessing disease-free margins, and minimizing the morbidity of radical debridement with temporary coverage and forethought to long-term reconstruction. Additionally, we describe the concurrent medical management, including type, route, and duration of antifungal therapy, minimizing suppression of the innate immune system, and optimizing the wound healing environment through maintaining nutritional status.
