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

Gastrointestinal (GI) mucormycosis is a rare, angioinvasive disease with a high mortality rate. To prevent dissemination of infection, early surgical resections of affected areas and initiation of antifungals are necessary. Unfortunately, due to its rarity, diagnosis, and treatment are often delayed. Here, we have described a case of a 22-year-old with gastroduodenal mucormycosis. Initially radiological findings were thought to be a sequela of changes for gastric volvulus or pancreatitis. GI mucormucosis was later confirmed with tissue histopathology. He underwent staged emergency Whipple's procedure and was started on antifungals. Fortunately, due to early intervention the patient recovered without complications.
