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

A 38 year old man with no known comorbidities presented with pain and swelling over the knee joint a few days after recovery from severe COVID-19. Initial debridement and cultures revealed growth of Mucorales affecting a large segment of the distal femur with also positive cultures obtained from the maxillary sinus and the lower lobe of the right lung. Due to this involvement of a long segment of the femur, right lung and left maxillary sinus, a multidisciplinary approach of above knee amputation along with debridement of left maxillary sinus and lobectomy of right lung lower lobe was performed to decrease the fungal load and favour good prognosis. This report warrants the need for early imaging and surgical debridement of tissue for fungal cultures and biopsy in immunocompromised individuals.
