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 a potentially life-threatening fungal infection with a high mortality rate. The difficulty and delay in diagnosis due to its rarity usually results in a poor prognosis. Most common site in head and neck region is the nose and paranasal sinuses. However there are other very unusual areas in head and neck region where mucormycosis is encountered. Knowledge of these unusual areas is must and can save a patient's life. To elaborate and highlight the unusual areas in head and neck region where mucormycosis can mimic other common diseases. This retrospective study was done from May 2010 to May 2019 over a period of 9 years. All histopathologically confirmed cases of Head and Neck mucormycosis were evaluated and data analyzed. Total 35 cases of head neck mucormycosis were encountered from May 2010 to May 2019 over a period of 9 years. Out of which 30 cases (85.72%) were of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis and 5 cases (14.28%) were EXTRA rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in head neck region. Mucormycosis at such unusual sites can cause diagnostic dilemma for the treating doctor. Clinical knowledge with anticipation is a must for success in treatment of mucormycosis in unusual places in head neck region especially when normal looking diseases does not respond to usual treatment.
