Ivermectin treatment for nasal myiasis complicated by orbital cellulitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundNasal myiasis is a rare parasitic infestation caused by fly larvae, which can lead to serious complications, such as orbital cellulitis, if not treated promptly. Early recognition and intervention are essential to prevent further complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 55-year-old Thai female with advanced-stage malignant melanoma of the right nasal cavity, treated with endoscopic tumor removal and 3 months of concurrent chemoradiation. The patient developed nasal myiasis and orbital cellulitis secondary to maggot infestation. A multidisciplinary approach, including adjunctive therapy with ivermectin, resulted in the successful resolution of both the infestation and its complications.
conclusionThis case highlights the effectiveness of ivermectin in treating nasal myiasis and emphasizes the importance of a collaborative medical approach in managing complex cases. It also provides insights into the mechanism and clinical application of ivermectin for similar parasitic infestations.
