Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mucormycosis: Battle with the Deadly Enemy.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
To study the clinical presentation and management outcomes in a series of patients with invasive rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis presenting to a tertiary care center in central India. Medical records of eleven consecutive cases of invasive rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis were reviewed. All clinically diagnosed cases, confirmed on microbiological examination were included. Their demographic data, clinical manifestations, underlying systemic conditions, microbiological and radiological reports, medical treatments, and surgical interventions were recorded and analyzed. There were nine male and two female patients with mean age of 46.8 years. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus was noted in all patients. One patient had history of renal transplantation. The common presenting features were-ophthalmoplegia (73%), diminution of vision, (64%) proptosis (36%) and periorbital swelling (27%). CT scan/MRI revealed sino-orbital involvement in eight cases and rhino-orbital-cerebral involvement in three cases. Ethmoid sinus (100%) was the commonest paranasal sinus involved. KOH preparation and histopathology revealed broad aseptate filamentous fungi branching at right angles with tissue invasion. Culture on sabouraud's dextrose agar showed growth of mucor species. All patients received intravenous amphotericin B and had undergone radical debridement of involved sinuses. The mean duration of follow up was 13 months. All survived except three, who developed cerebral mucormycosis. Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is a fetal fungal infection requiring multidisciplinary approach. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus is the main predisposing factor. Early diagnosis, reversal of predisposing co-morbidities, aggressive medical and surgical management are vital in managing this highly aggressive disease.
