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

A significant proportion of patients with Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) develop oroantral fistulas. Due to the unclear efficacy of crushed delayed-release posaconazole tablets (DRPT) via nasogastric tube in this group of patients, clinicians often use inferior alternatives like posaconazole suspension. In this prospective study, we report good plasma concentrations (median, 2,639 ng/mL; interquartile range [IQR], 1,690 to 3,575 ng/mL; and range, 1,004 to 4,835ng/mL) and complete cure and survival at 3 and 6 months in 19 such patients.
