Cutaneous Mucormycosis following a Spider Bite: A Rare and Challenging Case.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Mucormycosis is a rare and life-threatening fungal infection caused by Mucorales, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals such as those with diabetes or organ transplants. While it typically involves the sinuses, lungs, or central nervous system, cutaneous mucormycosis following minor trauma, including spider bites, is extremely uncommon. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 44-year-old Palestinian man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and a history of renal transplant on immunosuppressive therapy who developed progressive pain, swelling, and erythema of the right forearm after a spider bite. Despite empirical antibiotic therapy, the lesion worsened, with necrosis and bullae formation. Biopsy confirmed mucormycosis, and cultures also revealed methicillin-resistant Conclusion: This case highlights an atypical presentation of cutaneous mucormycosis following a spider bite in an immunocompromised patient. Early recognition, prompt initiation of antifungal therapy, and aggressive surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in such rare and complex infections.
