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

Trichoderma is a widely distributed thermophilic fungus that grows on moist soil, fallen leaves, and rotten wood. It plays an important role in agricultural production, food processing, and soil. However, some forms of Trichoderma can infect humans. Aggressive infections are more common in immunocompromised patients, with manifestations ranging from focal to disseminated infections. Here, we report a case of an invasive eye infection in China. The patient, a healthy 64-year-old man, was inadvertently struck by a puncture vine, injuring his eye and resulting in reduced visual acuity, lacrimation, and redness in the right eye. Upon admission, he was diagnosed with right eye perforation injury, right eye iris damage, right eye vitreous opacity, and right eye infection. After completion of the relevant auxiliary examinations, the diagnosis was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and metagenomic next-generation sequencing, and the patient responded to antifungal therapy.
