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

To study the potential risk factors associated with mortality in patients with mucormycosis. A retrospective study of 490 patients with diagnosis of sinonasal mucormycosis was done. They were divided in two groups-Group A included 87 patients that expired during the study period and Group B included 403 control patients. All the demographic, clinical and outcome parameters were collected from the patient's record files and noted in a structured case proforma and were analysed. During the mean hospital stay of 22 ± 6 days, 17.7% patients expired during the treatment course. Multiple risk factors like uncontrolled diabetes, dyselectrolytemia, underlying renal disease and extensive nature of the disease involving orbit, intracranium and with pulmonary dissemination, all were associated with high mortality in Mucormycosis. Early recognition and appropriate management of the secondary factors can grossly reduce the risk of mortality in patients with mucormycosis.
