Orbital Apex Syndrome due to Orbital Mucormycosis after Teeth Infection: A Successful Case Report.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is a severe and rapidly progressive fungal infection associated with low survival rates. Early diagnosis and proper management are mandatory. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with diabetic ketoacidosis and teeth infection, who presented with sudden orbital apex syndrome. Several surgical procedures were necessary to provide a definite histopathological diagnosis of the fungal infection. Ultimately, given the progressive aggravation of the infection and the ineffectiveness of antifungal and antibiotic agents, an orbital exenteration was performed. A mycobacteriological examination revealed a polymicrobial culture with
