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

Three Japanese Black calves died within a two-month period on a beef cattle farm. Necropsy consistently revealed liquefactive necrosis of the ventral brain (extending from the olfactory bulb to the midbrain) and thymic atrophy. Histopathologically, necrosuppurative encephalitis characterized by abundant fungal hyphae was observed in all three cases. Fungal lesions also involved the olfactory mucosa, olfactory nerves, and olfactory bulb. Fungi isolated from the cerebrum of all three calves were identified as Lichtheimia ramosa. These cases were diagnosed as rhinocerebral mucormycosis, originating in the olfactory mucosa and extending to the cerebrum. Although mucormycosis is typically sporadic, this report documents the first occurrence of consecutive cases of bovine rhinocerebral mucormycosis caused by L. ramosa.
