Basidiobolomycosis Mimicking Fistulizing Crohn's Disease: A Case Report From Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis (GIB) is a rare, emerging fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, which requires a high index of clinical suspicion for early diagnosis and management. It is prevalent in hot and humid regions, and its clinical manifestations may mimic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), malignancy, and tuberculosis (TB). This often results in the disease being missed or incorrectly diagnosed. We present the case of a 58-year-old female patient from the southern region of Saudi Arabia who presented with persistent non-bloody diarrhea for four weeks and was found to have GIB. This condition is associated with significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. The optimal therapeutic strategy for managing this rare infection has not yet been established. Most patients described in the literature have received a combination of pharmaceutical and surgical therapy. Including GIB in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders that do not fit the diagnosis may help with its early diagnosis and management.
