Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis: Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundMucormycosis is one of the rapidly progressing and lethal form of fungal infection which involves the nose and paranasal sinuses of the head and the neck regions. Mucormycosis also remains a threat to patients with uncontrolled diabetes or other predisposing systemic conditions. It manifests as rhinocerebral, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cutaneous or disseminated form. The underlying conditions can influence clinical presentation and often delay diagnosis, with resultant poor outcomes. CASE DETAILS: We report a case of rhinocerebral mucormycosis in a 75 year-old diabetic patient with emphasise on diagnosis, treatment and survival options of patient from this potentially fatal fungal infection. Extra oral examination revealed mild non-tender swelling on the face, unable to see from left eye, impaired sense of smell, difficulty in speech and nasal stuffiness. Intra-oral examination showed necrosis of mucosa and underlying bone in relation to canine to the tuberosity area of the left vestibular region of the maxilla.
conclusionTimely diagnosis is critical to survival and minimization of morbidity. Institution of surgical and medical therapy is critical in maximizing the likelihood of good outcome.
