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

Mucormycosis is a rare, opportunistic fungal infection prevalent in the elderly, especially in patients with uncontrolled diabetes or a compromised immune system. However, the outbreak of the pandemic declared by the World Health Organization in late 2019 increased the incidence of mucormycosis cases in COVID-19 patients due to increased steroid usage that resulted in an immunocompromised state. The current report presents two cases of oral mucormycotic osteomyelitis in patients who developed diabetes post-COVID infection, along with a review and relevant literature.
