Invasive Fungal Infection Caused by Exophiala dermatitidis in a Patient After Lung Transplantation: Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Mycopathologia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
This report describes a case of invasive Exophiala dermatitidis infection after double lung transplantation in a 76-year-old man. After thoracotomy, the patient's wound showed dehiscence with purulent secretion. The black yeast was isolated from cultures taken from the wound, and species identification was confirmed by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS-S2) region. The results of the susceptibility testing showed voriconazole as the most active drug. Despite adaptation of the antifungal therapy the clinical condition worsened, and the patient died. In addition, we evaluated the fungicidal activity of antiseptics towards E. dermatitidis and aimed to provide a brief literature review of previously reported infections caused by this rare fungus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a rapidly progressing invasive fungal infection with E. dermatitidis originating from a colonized wound after lung transplantation.
