Post-COVID-19 Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis, a Life-Threatening Event in the Background of an Immunosuppressive Condition: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian journal of pathology, 2026. 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
Background & Objective: In patients with COVID-19, immunocompromised conditions or immunosuppressive medications, such as corticosteroids, may predispose them to invasive fungal infections affecting the sinuses and brain. We describe a case of COVID-19 infection complicated by rhinocerebral mucormycosis, diagnosed through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Case Report: A 32-year-old woman with a history of COVID-19 1 month prior, treated with high-dose corticosteroids, presented with rapidly progressive neurological symptoms, including lower extremity paralysis. Imaging revealed an intracranial hemorrhage and a mass-like lesion. Conclusion: Cytological CSF analysis showed acute inflammation and fungal elements consistent with mucormycosis. Despite antifungal treatment, the patient's condition deteriorated; she developed a thromboembolism and ultimately died.
