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
Subcutaneous zygomycosis, also known as basidiobolomycosis, is a rare, chronic fungal infection that predominantly affects immunocompetent individuals in tropical and subtropical regions. The disease often presents as firm, painless, indurated subcutaneous swellings that may mimic malignancy, chronic bacterial infections, tuberculosis, or other deep fungal infections, leading to frequent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical interventions. We report the case of a 53-year-old immunocompetent man who presented with gradually enlarging, painless swellings over the right thigh and groin, accompanied by mild intermittent burning and pinprick pain for three months. There was no history of trauma or systemic illness. Examination revealed multiple firm, non-tender, indurated plaques with surface ulceration. Laboratory investigations were unremarkable. Histopathological examination of a wedge biopsy demonstrated dense eosinophilic granulomatous inflammation and broad, yeast-like fungal elements encased within an eosinophilic matrix (Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon), confirming basidiobolomycosis.
