Zygomatic Implants in a Patient With History of Mucormycosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Exposure to mucor mold can lead to mucormycosis, a rare fungal infection with severe consequences, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The year 2020 highlighted the need for orofacial rehabilitation, presenting challenges in cases of maxillary absence. This case report details zygomatic implants, which offer a promising solution by providing stable support even in the absence of significant bone mass due to surgical excision post-COVID-19 mucormycosis. Zygomatic implants outperform traditional grafting techniques. The atrophic or resected jaws can be effectively restored with a single-piece zygomatic implant, which has the lowest rate of postoperative problems, including bone loss, mucositis, peri-implantitis, and screw loosening or fractures. In this case report, four zygomatic implants were placed in the zygomatic bone, and immediate loading was performed. Restoration of patient aesthetics, phonetics, and functional masticatory efficiency were restored.
