Catheter-Related Trichosporon asahii Bloodstream Infection in a Neutropenic Patient with Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
Article in Infection & chemotherapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Because primary antifungal prophylaxis is widely used for immunocompromised hosts, the incidences of unusual fungal infections have increased. Trichosporon asahii has emerged as an important life-threatening opportunistic systemic pathogen because of the increased use of cytotoxic or immunosuppressant agents, along with high mortality rates. Here, we describe a case of catheter-related T. asahii bloodstream infection with multiple septic skin nodules in both the arms and legs of the patient who was in the neutropenic period after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome treated with prophylactic ciprofloxacin and itraconazole. We successfully treated her with intravenous voriconazole for more than a month without any complications. Clinicians should consider breakthrough Trichosporon infections when clinical progress in an immunocompromised patient with unexplained infection signs and symptoms does not improve despite proper treatment with antibiotics or various antifungal agents. In addition, voriconazole can be a good treatment choice for achieving better treatment results and prognosis.
