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

Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis is a rare but potentially severe fungal infection in children with high rate of morbidity and mortality. In pediatric patients, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is considered to be a predisposing factor only in 15% of cases. To prevent and reduce mortality rate of this severe disease, early diagnosis based on clinical findings and biopsy is highly recommended. Herein, we report a case of rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis in a 12-year-old girl with type 1 diabetes to demonstrate that a multimodal management approach, involving early surgery which consists in frequent endoscopic sinus debridement and appropriate antifungal therapy, is essential to effectively reduce the spread of infection and achieve effective outcome.
