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

Cutaneous mucormycosis typically occurs as a primary infection following traumatic inoculation or as a secondary disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients with hematologic malignancy or organ transplantation. We describe an unusual case of a poorly controlled type 1 diabetic patient presenting with wet gangrene of the hand due to angioinvasive dissemination from a primary pulmonary infection, with additional suspected foci of cardiac and central nervous system involvement. Despite combined medical and surgical treatment, the patient ultimately died due to complications of her infection. This case and the associated literature review of secondary cutaneous mucormycosis highlight that invasive fungal infections can present peripherally, and identifying the primary source is important in order to promptly pursue aggressive combined medical and surgical treatment for this highly fatal disease.
