Geotrichum capitatum septicemia: case report and review of the literature.
Review in Mycopathologia, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Geotrichum capitatum is an uncommon cause of invasive infections in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with hematological malignancies and severe neutropenia. The aim of this study was to report the cases of invasive geotrichosis in our hospital. It is a retrospective study of invasive geotrichosis diagnosed in the Laboratory of Parasitology-Mycology of the UH Habib Bourguiba, Sfax, from January 2005 to August 2013. Six cases of invasive Geotrichum infections were diagnosed. There were three men and three women. The mean age was 35 years. Five patients have acute myeloid leukemia with a profound neutropenia, and one patient was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for polytraumatism. Clinically, the prolonged fever associated with pulmonary symptoms was the predominant symptom (n = 5). Geotrichum capitatum was isolated in one or more blood culture. Two patients had urinary tract infections documented by multiple urine cultures positive for G. capitatum. Five patients received conventional amphotericin B alone or associated with voriconazole. The outcome was fatal in four cases. Invasive geotrichosis is rare, but particularly fatal in immunocompromised patients. Approximately, 186 cases have been reported in the literature. The prognostic is poor with mortality over 50 %. So, early diagnosis and appropriate management are necessary to improve prognosis.
