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

Background: In the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in number of cases with Post-COVID-19 fungal osteomyelitis of jaws. Aspergillosis was found to be one of the causes of osteomyelitis of jaw bones in these patients. Aim: To evaluate the incidence and pattern of osteomyelitis of jaw due to aspergillosis in post-COVID-19 patients and to discuss the management protocol of the same. Method: Data were obtained at our institution from the period of January 2021 to June 2021. Patients of all age groups with Post-COVID-19 osteomyelitis of jaw due to aspergillosis and those with combined aspergillosis and mucormycosis infection were included. Patients having rhino-orbito-cerebral fungal infection were excluded. Results: A total of 47 patients reported to our center. Demographically the average age of the patients was 49.11 years with 72% being males. All 47 patients ( Conclusions: Early and definitive diagnosis and immediate initiation of antifungal drug therapy and surgical intervention will significantly reduce the rate of morbidity and mortality.
