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

introductionMucormycosis is a life-threatening invasive fungal infection that occurs mainly in patients who are immunocompromised. Here, we report a case of mucormycosis with characteristic gastric ulcers and severe vascular invasion after ABO-incompatible living-donor liver transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION: A male patient in his 50s with decompensated cirrhosis due to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis underwent an ABO-incompatible living-donor liver transplantation. Rituximab (375 mg/m

conclusionsThis case represents a breakthrough mucormycosis infection that developed despite antifungal prophylaxis. The disease manifested as characteristic gastric ulcerations and extensive vascular invasion, leading to fatal outcomes despite liposomal amphotericin B therapy. Necrotic gastric ulcers and positive gastric juice cultures provide critical diagnostic clues. In highly immunosuppressed liver transplant recipients, atypical gastric findings should raise suspicion for mucormycosis, and early systemic evaluation is essential to improve otherwise poor prognoses.
