Pulmonary mucormycosis in the aftermath of critical COVID-19 in an immunocompromised patient: Mind the diagnostic gap.
Article in Journal de mycologie medicale, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Mucormycosis has recently been recognized as a severe complication of COVID-19 with high fatality rates. We report a fatal case of COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM) in a non-diabetic immunocompromised patient, who was first misdiagnosed and treated for COVID-19 associated aspergillosis (CAPA). The risk factors and initial clinical presentation of CAPA and CAM are similar, but CAM has a more aggressive course and CAPA and CAM are treated differently. Dedicated diagnostic workup is essential to ensure early treatment of CAM with surgical debridement and targeted antifungal therapy.
