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

Rationale: COVID-19 patients, especially immunocompromised or severely ill, have a higher probability of suffering from invasive fungal infections. Patient Concerns: A 41-years-old male reported with pain and heaviness in the face for the past 20 days. Patient had tested COVID-19 positive 20 days back and was recently diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. On histopathological examination numerous hyphae resembling Diagnosis: Chronic invasive aspergillosis with fulminant mucormycosis sparing palate. Treatment: Since the lesion was spreading very rapidly the patient was referred to an isolation facility for further management. Outcomes: We have postulated few hypothesis for the coinfection of aspergillosis and mucormycosis in our patient. Take-away Lessons: It is important for the clinicians to systematically screen post COVID-19 patients for fungal infections, especially in immunocompromised and severely ill patients.
