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
Mucormycosis is an angio-invasive fungal infection affecting individuals with immuno-compromised state. The case series is a retrospective analysis of patients in a single centre and highlights the surge of pulmonary involvement in patients with sinonasal mucormycosis. To determine incidence of sequential pulmonary involvement in diagnosed cases of sino-nasal mucormycosis undergoing treatment in a tertiary health care facility and devise institutional algorithm for management. Records of patients diagnosed with sino-nasal mucormycosis who underwent treatment in tertiary care health facility from January 2023 to January 2025 were reviewed in view of simultaneous pulmonary involvement. We found four patients during the time duration of two years with simultaneous sino-nasal and pulmonary mucormycosis. Diabetes mellitus was most common predisposing factor in all patients with mean glycosylated haemoglobin of 10.9%. Sputum microscopy for KOH mount was negative in all four patients. One of the patients underwent computed tomography guided biopsy from right lung lesion after the onset of pulmonary symptoms. Histo-morphological features were consistent with clinical diagnosis of mucormycosis. Detection of simultaneous pulmonary involvement in sino-nasal mucormycosis is an arduous task. Timely detection of non-specific symptoms of pulmonary involvement is responsible for favourable prognosis. However, diagnosing pulmonary mucormycosis can be challenging due to low threshold to perform invasive diagnostic procedures, the limited sensitivity of sputum microscopy, and presence of non-specific symptoms.
