Candida pneumonia with severe clinical course, recovery with antifungal therapy and unusual pathologic findings: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. 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
backgroundCandida is frequently isolated from the respiratory tract and usually reflects airway colonization. True Candida pneumonia is rare. Our aim is to document a case of Candida pneumonia confirmed by cultures, molecular techniques, and surgical lung biopsy, and to highlight a previously unreported pathologic manifestation of this infection. CASE SUMMARY: A 59-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presented with dry cough, low-grade fever, and progressive dyspnea. He was eventually diagnosed with sarcoidosis based on bilateral lung infiltrates and granulomas in a transbronchial biopsy. His condition worsened after immunosuppression, prompting surgical lung biopsy, which revealed suppurative granulomas containing Candida albicans, confirmed by cultures and polymerase chain reaction. Despite multiple episodes of respiratory failure and a prolonged course in intensive care, he recovered fully after antifungal therapy and is currently alive with COPD-related dyspnea 3 years after his initial presentation.
conclusionCandida can rarely cause clinically significant pneumonia in adults, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of suppurative granulomas in the lung.
