1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 an invasive mycosis caused by fungi of the order Mucorales. It mainly affects patients with uncontrolled diabetes. This case report concerns a 27-year-old woman with diabetic ketoacidosis who presented with a large erythematous plaque localised in the right orbitofrontal region with exophthalmos and patches of necrosis that rapidly led to death within 3 days before the diagnosis of ROCM due to
