Post-COVID Mucormycosis-Conceptual Etiology and New Treatment Options.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a massive pandemic in world. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is also a doorway for other opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections. Mucormycosis is strongly connected with patients suffering from COVID-19 disease. The major factors attributed are steroid induced immunosuppression; systemic disorders especially diabetes mellitus, hypoxia, and metabolic acidosis. Aims and Objectives: Unusual presentations of post-COVID mucormycosis in young patients without diabetes mellitus were observed. The new concept focuses on pathophysiology of the post-COVID mucormycosis which might involve other factors of coagulopathy and microembolism of vessels which provides a niche for fungal infection to invade in patients. Results: The new concept of treating post Covid mucormycosis by combining the anti-fungal drugs along with fibrinolytic agents reduces the microcoagulopathy, increases the recovery rate and healing of the mucormycosis. Conclusions: Based on the clinical and application of scientific knowledge, this concept paper focuses on new hypothesis and treatment plans of post-COVID mucormycosis and an attempt to explain the difference between conventional mucormycosis and post-COVID mucormycosis.
