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

background and purposeCASE REPORT: A 42-year-old Pakistani man presented with headache, facial numbness, progressive upper limb weakness, and dysarthria. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a space-occupying lesion in the basal ganglia region. The patient underwent supratentorial craniotomy for biopsy and excision. Histopathology of the specimen revealed granulomatous inflammation with abscess formation. Periodic acid- Schiff special stains highlighted the presence of numerous septate fungal hyphae. The results revealed the growth of dematiaceous fungi, which were morphologically classified as
