1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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, also known as "black fungus," is a potentially fatal disorder that causes blurred or double vision, chest pain, and breathing problems. The introduction of novel risk factors and causative agents, as well as the problems with controlling the disease, are all significant problems with mucormycosis in India. It is most common among COVID-19 patients. Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal disease that primarily affects immunosuppressant patients, mainly caused by mold fungi of the genus mucor, rhizopus, rhizomucor, and absidia, which are in the zygomycetes class and the Mucorales order. The most common risk factor is diabetes mellitus, followed by haematological malignancy and solid-organ transplantation. Reversal of underlying predisposing factors, surgical debridement of infected tissues, and proper antifungal therapy are all required for the treatment of mucormycosis. In this review, the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and symptoms of black fungus and its association with covid-19, treatment, and diagnosis are discussed.
