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

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that usually affects patients with diabetes mellitus or immunosuppression. The fungus invades the nearby blood vessels leading to thrombosis and necrosis of the organs involved. Although Mucorales can invade any organ in the body, the gastrointestinal system is an uncommon site for infection. Mucormycosis is a fatal infection, and prompt intervention is required to ensure survival. In this report, we present a case of a 46-year-old man with history of valve replacement surgery on warfarin, who admitted with abdominal pain and life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an active gastric ulcer bleeding, and the diagnosis of mucormycosis infection was confirmed with direct microscopy and histopathological evaluation from a tissue
