Rhino-orbital Mucormycosis: Clinical Findings and Treatment Outcomes of Four Cases.
Article in Turkish journal of ophthalmology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
In this case report, we present the clinical findings and therapeutic outcomes of four rhino-orbital mucormycosis patients. The four patients (1 female, 3 male; age range, 55-77 years) all had diabetes mellitus and two also had chronic renal failure. All patients exhibited proptosis, sinusitis, and dark-colored lesions on the nasopharynx and/or hard palate; three patients had ipsilateral peripheral facial paralysis. Visual acuity was no light perception in the two patients with severe orbital involvement and 0.8 in two patients with limited orbital involvement. Histopathological examination of the hard palate, nasopharynx or sinus biopsy revealed typical Mucor hyphae. Systemic liposomal amphotericin B was initiated in all patients. The patients with limited ocular involvement received amphotericin B both intravenously and by local irrigation; both patients had complete recovery. The other two patients underwent orbital exenteration; one patient died after declining systemic treatment postoperatively. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are important for the survival of rhino-orbital mucormycosis patients. With orbital involvement, surgical debridement and systemic and local treatment with antifungal agents may help avoid mutilating surgery like exenteration.
