Can a biologic mesh survive a Candida krusei infection? A case report of infection of a biologic mesh following repair of abdominal wall hernia.
Article in IDCases, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The use of biologic mesh, which is considered resistant to infection, has become common. It is preferred over synthetic mesh for use in contaminated fields. Fungal infection with infiltration of biologic mesh is rare and has not been reported. In this paper, we report a case of a patient who underwent multiple laparotomies and received multiple antibiotics and an azole antifungal. Biologic mesh was used, but it ultimately required removal because of chronic infection with Candida krusei. On biopsy, the yeast was found to have infiltrated the mesh.
