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

Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that commonly occurs in patients with predisposing conditions, such as poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and immunocompromised states. In patients with diabetes, rhinocerebral disease is more commonly described, whereas isolated pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) is less typical and is more often associated with profound immunocompromise. The presentation in this case was further notable for occurring in the setting of a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) rather than diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), without rhinocerebral involvement. We present the case of a 53-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with insulin who initially presented with cough, fatigue, and generalized malaise and re-presented five days later after a syncopal ground-level fall with right shoulder pain and persistent weakness. He was found to have a HHS and sepsis secondary to pneumonia, with sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage cultures growing
