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

Classically, mucormycosis is a known cause of rhino-orbital infection in immunocompromised patients. There is an increasing number of cases of mucormycosis infections involving locations outside of the rhino-orbital and pulmonary systems. While the factors that dictate these unusual locations of infection are not entirely known, physicians who encounter this scenario often resort to powerful antifungal medications and surgery to manage this disease process as there are no data to provide consensus on the best treatment approach. We share an interesting case of a patient who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and was subsequently found to have gastrointestinal hemorrhage, with gastric ulcer biopsy revealing primary gastric mucormycosis.
