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

Gastrointestinal mucormycosis, a rare fatal fungal infection in an immunocompromised host, affects mainly the stomach. Colonic mucormycosis is infrequent and is associated with high mortality. Perianal involvement is seen in almost one-third of patients with Crohn's disease. Perianal Crohn's disease is a particularly debilitating form of the disease, which requires multidisciplinary care. It may also require profound immunosuppression with biological agents to control disease activity. Opportunistic infections can complicate the disease course in these patients. We present a case of a middle-aged female with perianal Crohn's disease on adalimumab who developed colonic mucormycosis causing a flare in her disease activity. This patient highlights the need to increase awareness about fungal infections as a cause of disease flare in inflammatory bowel disease.
