COVID Associated Invasive Aspergillosis.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. 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
To study the possible association between invasive fungal sinusitis (aspergillosis) and coronavirus disease. An observational study was conducted at a tertiary care centre over 6 months, involving all patients with aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses suffering from or having a history of COVID-19 infection. 92 patients presented with aspergillosis, all had an association with COVID-19 disease. Maxillary sinus (100%) was the most common sinus affected. Intraorbital extension was seen in 34 cases, while intracranial extension was seen in 5 cases. Diabetes mellitus was present in 75 of 92 cases. All had a history of steroid use during their coronavirus treatment. New manifestations of COVID-19 are appearing over time. The association between coronavirus and aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses must be given serious consideration. Uncontrolled diabetes and overzealous use of steroids are two main factors aggravating the illness, and both of these must be properly checked.
