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 is an opportunistic fungal infection indicating a high mortality rate. Among six varieties of involved sites, rhino cerebral mucormycosis (RCM) is not the most uncommon. During the COVID-19 pandemic, with the increase, in predisposing conditions incidence rate of mucormycosis progressed. For aggressive treatment, an early diagnosis can be armored to reduce morbidity and mortality. Clinically RCM poses non-specific symptoms and signs delaying diagnosis. This is associated with orbital cellulitis and sinusitis, one-sided headache behind the eye, diplopia, blurring of visions, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, epistaxis, nasal hypoesthesia, facial pain and numbness, and a history of black nasal discharge. Not commonly the complications of cranial nerve involvement have been reported. In the present case series, three presentations of facial nerve palsy in COVID-19 associated with mucormycosis are added to the literature database.
