Gastric Mucormycosis in a Critically Ill Patient Who Survived Without Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is an extremely rare but highly fatal manifestation of invasive fungal infections. We report a case of a 57-year-old man with preexisting type 2 diabetes mellitus who was admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis and acute hypoxic respiratory failure with a stay in the intensive care unit. The patient was found to be anemic. On further workup, he was found to have gastric mucormycosis. Despite the very high mortality rate, the patient showed remarkable improvement with antifungal therapy and supportive care. No surgery was performed as the patient refused surgical intervention. This rare case points to the need for high suspicion, timely biopsy, and quick intervention to have favorable outcomes.
