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

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is a severe fungal infection caused by opportunistic fungi of the order Mucorales, most commonly Rhizopus oryzae. It typically occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus or those who are immunocompromised. The diagnosis is based on histopathological, microbiological, clinical, and radiological findings. Early diagnosis is crucial, and management includes antifungal therapy and surgical debridement. In this case report, we report a 64-year-old diabetic female patient who presented with rhino-orbital mucormycosis. The patient had central retinal artery occlusion in the left eye, left cranial nerve palsies, and ethmoidal and maxillary sinusitis. The fungal culture examination resulted in Rhizopus oryzae. The patient received antifungal treatment and underwent left orbital exenteration and endoscopic sinus surgery. Despite antifungal treatment and early extensive surgical debridement, the patient died during the second month of intensive care.
