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
To propose a surgical staging system with management protocol for post-covid Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) with central skull base osteomyelitis. A prospective cohort study of a total of 193 post-covid ROCM patients was conducted between May 2021 and January 2022 at a tertiary care centre. Patients were assessed radiologically and staged from I to V. Follow up period was 16 months and the surgical outcome in terms of recurrent disease was assessed. A total of 193 patients (129 primary and 64 revision) were studied. Maxilla was found to be the epicenter of anterior disease (69.3%) and pterygoid wedge was noted to be the epicenter of posterior disease (85.6%). More than 65% of our patients, at the time of presentation, presented with involvement of the central skull base. Intracranial disease was noted in 13.9% of patients and the mortality rate was 6.2%. This staging system provides a systematic step-by-step protocol for the management of ROCM, with emphasis on meticulous disease clearance at the central skull base.
