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

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is caused by trauma, infection, autoimmune, inflammatory joint diseases, and several other minor causes. Mucormycosis causing temporomandibular joint ankylosis has not been reported. We report two cases of temporomandibular joint ankylosis caused by mucormycosis from 2018 to 2022. In both cases, the infection started in the maxilla, then progressed to orbit. After that, involvement of the mastoid process, styloid process, and base of the skull was observed in the first case, while in the second case, there was the involvement of the base of the skull and mandibular ramus. As the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) components are contiguous to the base of the skull, it got affected causing temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Mucormycosis was diagnosed by KOH mount. The smear examination showed aseptate hyphae at 90
