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 article reports a rare case of Brain Mucormycosis in a 12 year-old girl who presented with relapse Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). On the 12th day of chemotherapy, although there was no CNS symptoms, the second Lumbar Puncture (LP) revealedmthe CNS relapse which developed to Into brain abscess presenting with right side hemiparesis. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the brain biopsy revealed small, multifocal necrosis and acute inflammation with septal fungal hyphae branching, which was proven to be caued by Mucormycosis according to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The patient responded to treatment with intravenous liposomal Amohotericin B and Caspofungin after two months, suggesting that Brain Mucormycosis in ALL cases can be managed with sequential therapy by antifungals.
