Cutaneous Mucormycosis by Saksenaea vasiformis: An Unusual Case Report and Review of Literature.
Review in Mycopathologia, 2019. 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
backgroundSaksenaea vasiformis is one of the numerous fungi of the Order Mucorales. Rapid progression and invasion of neighboring tissues are the most characteristic features of S. vasiformis mucormycosis.
aimThe objective of this review is the management of this type of infections.
methodsCase report and literature review.
resultsA 62-year old woman, without a history of immunocompromisation, developed a localized cutaneous infection at her right thigh. No trauma, skin laceration or insect bite was reported at the side of infection. The initial treatment was surgical debridements and intravenous administration of amphotericin B/posaconazole. In order to avoid the further rapid progression of the infection and save her life, it was decided to proceed to amputation of the patient's right leg. This is the first case of S. vasiformis cutaneous infection in an immunocompetent patient, in Greece.
conclusionEarly diagnosis of S. vasiformis mucormycosis is of paramount importance. Clinical suspicion, based on the rapid progression of the infection and on the medical history of the patient, is sufficient to start antifungal treatment. Broad, aggressive, and repeated surgical debridement of the infection site together with systemic antifungal agents administration is the key point for successful treatment.
