Disfiguring Mucor irregularis Infection Cured by Amphotericin B and Itraconazole: A Case Report and Treatment Experience.

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
We report a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis caused by Mucor irregularis. A 52-year-old male farmer was presented to our hospital with a history of progressive nodule and plaque with ulceration on the face for two and a half years. Broad, aseptate hyphae were seen in direct KOH examination and biopsy. Fungal culture showed light yellow filamentous colonies. The rRNA sequencing revealed M. irregularis was the responsible fungus. Amphotericin B in gradually increasing dose and itraconazole were administered. When the cumulative dose of amphotericin B was 1500 mg, the skin lesion improved significantly with remaining scars on the face. Then, the patient received sequential oral itraconazole treatment for 8 months. There was no recurrence up to now through follow-ups.
