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

Invasive sinus aspergillosis is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening infection typically observed in immunocompromised individuals. However, increasing reports highlight its occurrence in patients with transient or borderline immunosuppression. We present a case of a 75-year-old female with treated mantle cell lymphoma and chronic neutropenia who developed invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis. Diagnosis was confirmed via imaging and histopathology following surgical intervention. She was treated with liposomal amphotericin B, followed by a successful transition to oral voriconazole, with full clinical recovery. This case underscores the importance of considering fungal sinusitis in patients without classical or sustained immunosuppression and supports a multidisciplinary, stepwise approach to management.
