Management Challenge of Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis in Covid 19 Era: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Mucormycosis is an uncommon but a fatal fungal infection that usually affects patients with altered immunity. The Rhizopus Oryzae is most common type and responsible for nearly 60% of mucormycosis cases in humans and also accounts for 90% of the Rhino-orbital-cerebral (ROCM) form. Our aim and objective was to study, the site of mucormycosis in nose and paranasal sinuses, adjacent site like orbit palate or intracranial involvement, co-morbid condition and management to be done in confirm mucormycosis patients. The most common sinuses involved are the ethmoid, maxillary followed by the frontal and sphenoid sinus. Diabetes mellitus is often associated with mucormycosis of the paranasal sinuses, as is corona virus infection; uncontrolled diabetes further increases the risk. Intra-orbital involvement is common, but intracranial involvement is rare. Extensive steroid and broad-spectrum antibiotic use for Covid-19 management may cause or exacerbate fungal disease. All the patients required surgical intervention along with medical treatment.
