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

We describe the fatal case of a patient with gastric perforation due to ischemia and necrosis of the stomach secondary to generalized vascular thrombosis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Histopathological examination of the resected stomach, spleen and omentum unexpectedly showed fungal hyphae suggestive of invasive mucormycosis. We retrospectively performed Mucorales PCR (MucorGenius®, PathoNostics, Maastricht, The Netherlands) in blood and tissue samples of this patient. The PCR was positive 16 days before time of death and 9 days before abdominal pain.
