Subcutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Cyst Associated with Medicopsis romeroi in an Immunocompromised Host.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
An 88-year-old man, receiving prednisolone for sarcoidosis, presented with a discrete keratotic lesion on the dorsum of his right hand following the placement of an intravenous cannula a month prior to its appearance. Medicopsis romeroi was isolated from the tissue and identified by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer region ITS-1 and the D1-2 fragment of the 28S rDNA gene. Histopathological examination showed fungal hyphae in the internal inflammatory cells layer and within the histocyte-macrophage layer, highly suggestive of deep mycosis. The patient was successfully treated with surgical excision of the cyst. M. romeroi exhibited high MIC values for echinocandin drugs in vitro, but appeared susceptible to newer triazole agents, amphotericin B and terbinafine. This is the first report of a subcutaneous phaeohyphomycotic cyst occurring following the placement of an intravenous cannula. This report highlights the potential role of M. romeroi as an emerging cause of deep, non-mycetomatous infection in immunocompromised patients.
