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

Mould infections may follow traumatic injuries, with direct fungal inoculum in the site of injury and subsequent angioinvasion, possibly resulting in tissue necrosis and systemic dissemination. The pathogenesis of mould infections following trauma injuries presents unique features compared with classical mould infections occurring in neutropenic or diabetic patients, because a large fraction of post-traumatic mould infections is observed in previously healthy individuals. Most of the published clinical experience and research on mould infections following traumatic injuries regards soldiers and infections after natural disasters. However, following trauma and soil contamination (e.g., agricultural or automotive injuries) other immunocompetent individuals may develop mould infections. In these cases, delays in correct diagnosis and treatment may occur if pertinent signs such as necrosis and absent or reduced response to antibacterial therapy are not promptly recognized. Awareness of mould infections in at-risk populations is needed to rapidly start adequate laboratory workflow and early antifungal therapy in rapidly evolving cases to improve treatment success and reduce mortality.
