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

Introduction: The objective of the study was to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome of patients with rhinocerebral coronavirus disease 2019-associated mucormycosis (CAM). Materials and Methods: We performed an unicentric observational study. A total of 113 cases of CAM were evaluated from January 2021 to June 2021. We described the overall incidence of CAM in Nagpur district up to June 2021, the clinical presentation of CAM, the subtype of CAM, the laboratory diagnosis, the type of surgical management in CAM, the pre-operative and 3-month post-operative C-reactive protein marker values, the post-operative healing and complications and the mortality rate. Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.8 years. Rhinomaxillary subtype was the most common. All patients underwent medical as well as surgical intervention as the treatment modality. There was mortality in two patients. Discussion: Study highlights the need for physicians to closely monitor coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, especially severe cases with pre-existing diabetes/receiving corticosteroid therapy and the need for patient education as early diagnosis and prompt treatment leads to better prognosis.
