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

The global incidence of invasive mucormycosis (mucor) infection is on the rise due in part to an increased utilization of immunosuppressive therapies to treat malignancies and autoimmune diseases. While cirrhosis has previously been considered a risk factor for fungal infections, very little is known about the inciting factors precipitating development of isolated cutaneous mucormycosis infection. This form of mucor poses a significant mortality risk despite antifungal and surgical treatments and has been documented in only 5 patients with cirrhosis prior to our case report. This case report presents the sixth documented case of cutaneous mucormycosis in a patient with cirrhosis and explore nosocomial etiologies for its progression to clinically significant infection.
