A Case of Invasive Sphenoid Sinus Aspergillosis Presenting as Oculomotor Nerve Palsy in a Healthy Patient.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis is a rare infection and usually affecting immunocompromised patients. We describe an invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis patient with immunocompetent who present progressive ocular dysfunctions. A 66-year-old woman with no history of immune dysfunction was referred to our hospital with orbital complications. Computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass lesion extending from the left orbital apex to the sphenoid sinus. Inflammatory diseases were not suspected by laboratory findings, but a transnasal endoscopic biopsy revealed sphenoid sinus aspergillosis. After treatment of antifungal medication, this patient showed improvement and no sign of recurrence during the follow-up period. Diagnosis of invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis in an immunocompetent, healthy individual, was challenging. However, if patients have sinus wall deformities and orbital complications, early surgery is necessary to improve their prognosis.
