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

The rapid surge of COVID-19 cases in the second wave of the pandemic has crippled the healthcare delivery system in Nepal and neighboring countries. Unlike in the first wave of the pandemic, several cases of mucormycosis have been reported in patients with COVID-19 from Nepal and India. In this report, we briefly describe the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and risk factors for mucormycosis and explore why patients with COVID-19 are at an increased risk for developing the infection. As treatment of mucormycosis is challenging and consumes a lot of resources, prevention of mucormycosis is pivotal in low-income countries like Nepal. We also highlight some basic steps that are easy to perform and important to reduce the risk of infection.
