Continuous debridement combined with short-term posaconazole therapy for cutaneous mucormycosis caused by
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection marked by skin abscesses, swelling, necrosis, dry ulcers, and eschars. Though less fatal compared to other mucormycosis forms, delayed diagnosis and treatment in immunocompromised patients can cause the infection to spread to vital organs, becoming life-threatening. We report a case of lower extremity cutaneous mucormycosis secondary to acute myeloid leukemia, successfully managed with sustained surgical debridement and short-term oral posaconazole. This case highlights the effectiveness of surgical debridement and the potential for short-course antifungal therapy in managing cutaneous mucormycosis.
