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

This is the first published case report of a child with acute lymphatic leukemia developing a fatal mucormycosis during blinatumomab treatment. The patient showed multiple, systemic thromboembolic lesions with ischemia, bleeding and infarction in almost all organs. The child succumbed to increased brain pressure resulting in cerebral herniation. This case particularly illustrates the fulminant progression and huge challenges of diagnosing and treating mucormycosis in children with hemato-oncological diseases during treatment with targeted therapeutic antibodies (blinatumomab).
