Actinomycosis of the Nasal Septum: A Rare Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection that can affect almost any site in the body. Its occurrence at the nasal septum is extremely rare. We present the case of an 84-year-old diabetic woman, with a past medical history of breast cancer that came to medical attention because of progressive nasal obstruction and severe sleep apnea. Nasal endoscopy revealed a submucosal mass at the anterior nasal septum obstructing both nasal cavities and extending to the anterior hard palate. With a cancer metastasis in mind, she was submitted to surgical resection of the lesion through a Rouge-Denker approach, with the final histologic diagnosis of actinomycosis. She was then treated with a three-month cycle of amoxicillin and remains without recurrence. This case describes a rare disease that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal lesions, especially in diabetic patients and after dental procedures.
