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
backgroundMycetoma is a slowly progressive chronic granulomatous disease of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and underlying or adjacent cartilage or bone. Most commonly involves the foot region. Other parts such as the knee, arm, leg, head, neck, thigh, perineum, chest, abdominal walls, facial bones, mandible, paranasal sinuses, eyelid, vulva, orbit, and scrotum are seldom affected.
methodsThis is a rare presentation of Eumycotic mycetoma involving the nasal septum. Surgical debridement is done under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination of debrided specimen guided in the diagnosis and treatment.
resultsHistopathological examination is the one that confirms the diagnosis and rules out the other granulomatous conditions and fungal rhinitis causing septal perforation.
conclusionsIn an immunocompromised state, we know that mucormycosis and zygomycosis are known to cause aggressive complications like orbital invasion and palatal perforation by vascular route. However, other fungal infections also can lead to septal perforations whenever there is lessened resistance by the mucosal barrier due to trauma (nasal intubations).
