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

Background: This case report aims to evaluate the feasibility of medical and surgical management in a patient with invasive bronchopulmonary mucormycosis complicated by renal insufficiency-a critical challenge limiting antifungal dosing and requiring tailored therapeutic strategies, while also reviewing the current literature on the treatment of pulmonary mucormycosis. Case Presentation: The patient received low-dose antifungal therapy with posaconazole and amphotericin B cholesterol sulfate complex. Subsequently, the patient underwent a left inferior lobectomy and experienced a successful postoperative recovery. Renal insufficiency complicates drug selection and dosing. A literature review demonstrated that combining antifungal therapy with surgical intervention is an effective approach for treating invasive bronchopulmonary mucormycosis. Conclusion: The combination of antifungal therapy and surgical management proves to be an effective treatment strategy for invasive bronchopulmonary mucormycosis in patients with renal insufficiency.
