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

Introduction Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) is a rapidly progressive infection that primarily affects immunocompromised patients. This study aims to characterize the clinical and microbiological findings and assess treatment outcomes in cases with AIFRS. Material and methods A retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2013 and July 2024. Patients were included based on histopathological confirmation of fungal infection and clinical evidence of AIFRS. Data on demographics, comorbidities, symptoms, imaging, microbiology, treatment, and outcomes were collected. Results Thirteen patients were included, with a mean age of 49.7 (±15.9) years and a predominance of female sex (10/13). Diabetes mellitus and hematologic malignancies were the most common comorbidities (six and five cases, respectively). The most frequent pathogens were
