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

Primary fungal laryngitis is a very rare clinical entity that usually manifests in immunocompromised patients due to impaired protection of the laryngeal mucosal barrier. We report a case of a 65-year-old patient with bilateral lung transplantation who presented with subacute worsening cough, hoarseness and clinical findings of hypercapnic respiratory failure. Initial imaging from barium swallow showed a mass narrowing the upper airway with a subsequent CT neck exam confirming a new large, invasive glottic mass narrowing the airway, which was initially suspicious for an aggressive malignancy. Prompt tracheostomy was performed and biopsies showed invasive fungal infection with sputum cultures that grew
