Rapidly Fatal Pulmonary Mucormycosis With Pericardial Dissemination: A Case Report and Imaging Insights.

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.
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
Mucormycosis is a rare but aggressive opportunistic fungal infection, predominantly affecting immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of a 59-year-old male with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia undergoing chemotherapy who developed pulmonary mucormycosis, which rapidly progressed to disseminated disease with pericardial involvement, an exceptionally rare occurrence. Initial chest CT imaging showed a subtle perihilar infiltrate, but within days, extensive spread was evident, showing widespread pulmonary consolidation, ground-glass opacities, vascular thrombosis, mediastinal invasion, and pericardial involvement. Bronchoscopy confirmed airway obstruction due to fungal invasion, and biopsy, along with pericardial fluid cultures, revealed
