Isolated Cutaneous Granuloma Caused by Candida glabrata: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Mycopathologia, 2018. 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 incidence of candidiasis due to non-albicans Candida species (especially Candida glabrata) has significantly increased in recent decades. Candida glabrata often invades immunocompromised hosts and causes systemic or mucosal infections, whereas cutaneous infections are rarely reported. We present a rare case of cutaneous infection caused by C. glabrata and review all similar cases available in the PubMed database. A patient was admitted to the hospital with a 2-month history of a plaque on the face. Histopathological examination displayed typical infectious granulomas in the deep dermis, and the pathogen was finally confirmed as C. glabrata using a series of microbial examinations (fungal culture, biochemical test, and PCR-directed sequencing). The patient was completely cured after 4 months of treatment with oral itraconazole combined with topical terbinafine. We reviewed similar reports of cutaneous infection caused by C. glabrata. All the data suggested that an accurate diagnosis of cutaneous candidiasis depends mainly on histological and fungal examinations, especially molecular biological assays. Antifungal agents based on microbial susceptibility tests are the first-line treatment choice for C. glabrata infection, but the prognosis might be more dependent on the basic condition of the host.
