Revisiting rhino-orbito-cerebral acute invasive fungal sinusitis in the era of COVID-19: pictorial review.
Review in Emergency radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
COVID-19 patients have been found to have an increased incidence of superadded fungal infections because of multiple factors such as impaired cell-mediated immunity, immunosuppressive therapy, and coexistent diabetes mellitus. Recently, there has been a significant rise in the COVID-19-associated mucormycosis and aspergillosis cases involving the sinonasal cavity and the lungs. Rhino-orbito-cerebral acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFR) is a potentially life-threatening, invasive fungal infection. Early diagnosis followed by prompt medical management and surgical intervention is crucial for patient survival. The role of cross-sectional imaging (CT/MRI) is not only to suggest a diagnosis of invasive fungal sinusitis but also to delineate the complete extent of disease. Mapping the extent of orbital and intracranial disease has prognostic as well as management implications, as involvement of these sites marks a worse prognosis. A stepwise approach to evaluation of imaging of AIFR along with a pictorial depiction of the key imaging findings is presented.
