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
A 73-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, received a diagnosis of facial cellulitis and was treated by antibiotics. However, her symptoms deteriorated. Facial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed orbital cellulitis. She had weakness of visual acuity requiring changing the antibiotics. She also underwent steroid pulse treatment. Her symptoms temporarily improved, but she became comatose and died. Results of a molecular analysis of the residual cerebrospinal fluid indicated Rhizopus species infection. For immunocompromised hosts with refractory orbital cellulitis, mucormycosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis, and appropriate treatment should be promptly performed.
