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

Often, patients with rhino-maxillary mucormycosis present with osteomyelitis and necrosis affecting the involved bone. Therefore, curative treatment involves a combination of antifungal therapy and surgical removal of the necrotic bone. In this case report, a 50-year-old female presented with pain in the right side of her face and was diagnosed with rhino-maxillary mucormycosis involving the right maxillary sinus, posterior maxilla, orbital floor, and zygomatic bone. To address the condition, a total maxillectomy of the right maxilla was performed. The post-surgical defect was packed using cotton leno-weave fabric, impregnated with soft paraffin and containing 0.5% chlorhexidine acetate dressing, which was changed every 3
