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

Introduction: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID 19) has left a trail of morbidity and mortality on a global scale because of the nature of the disease and its sequelae. One of the earliest drugs used to prevent the spiralling down of patients with the effects of cytokine syndrome were corticosteroids, reducing mortality. However, with the unfortunate injudicious use of steroids, opportunistic infections have created havoc even in recovered patients. COVID-associated rhino mucormycosis has seen a sudden spike in its prevalence presenting as an endemic in the midst of a pandemic. Case Presentation: Our paper reports a case of a COVID-recovered patient who presented with bilateral disease involving the maxillary sinus and palate on one side and the zygoma and orbit on the other. Discussion: Diagnosing and treating maxillary or orbital or cerebral extensions of rhino mucormycosis requires a thorough judicious approach. Imaging, meticulous intra-operative evaluation, and aggressive medical and surgical treatment are necessary. Conclusion: This case report highlights a peculiar case of an asymmetrical bilateral presentation of post-COVID mucormycosis involving different anatomical spaces.
