Lethargy and vision loss: successful management of rhinocerebral mucormycosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) is an angioinvasive fungal infection most often caused by Rhizopus oryzae It is usually associated with an underlying risk factor and is associated with a poor prognosis. There are no consensus guidelines on the optimal management of this aggressive disease; most management decisions are based on case reports and expert opinion. We report a successfully managed case of RCM in an insulin-dependent diabetic, initially presenting with a change in mental status, rapidly progressing to complete right eye blindness and ophthalmoplegia and complicated by multiple cerebral infarctions and abscesses. We describe the diagnostic approach and various therapeutic interventions undertaken to successfully manage our patient.
