Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral Mucormycosis With Intracranial Extension in a Patient With Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is a rare but highly aggressive fungal infection that predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals, with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) being one of the most important predisposing factors. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman from León, Nicaragua, with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with fever, upper respiratory symptoms, palatal ulceration, and progressive orbital involvement. She was admitted in severe DKA and diagnosed with invasive ROCM based on histopathological findings of broad, ribbon-like, aseptate hyphae with right-angle branching. Despite early initiation of amphotericin B and subsequent surgical debridement, the infection proved fatal. This case highlights the need for timely recognition, combined antifungal and surgical management, and optimization of underlying metabolic conditions to improve outcomes in ROCM.
