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 and Purpose: Traumatic fungal diseases are relatively less common and present significant challenges in treatment. In some cases, there is progressive spread and deep soft tissue colonization, especially in immunocompromised patients and those showing neglect and non-compliance with treatment. This pattern is common in patients from rural settings who are unaware of the consequences of delaying medical care and the resulting complications. Case Report: This study reported a case of Basidiobolomycosis manifesting as deep necrotizing myositis of the left thigh complicated by secondary bacterial sepsis in a 46-year-old immunocompetent man. Conclusion: The diagnosis was evasive due to the clinical picture of overt soft-tissue necrosis resembling a highly virulent bacterial infection showing antibiotic resistance. Broad aseptate hyphae in potassium hydroxide mount (KOH 10%) preparation led us to suspect the Entomophthorales organism and initiate prompt antifungal chemotherapy.
