Fatal Disseminated Infection by Trichosporon asahii Under Voriconazole Therapy in a Patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Review of Breakthrough Infections by Trichosporon spp.
Review in Mycopathologia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionCases of invasive Trichosporon infections have increasingly emerged; it is now the second leading cause of yeast bloodstream infections after Candida spp., particularly in the immunosuppressed population, where it often causes breakthrough fungemia with high mortality.
methodsWe present a case report of a breakthrough Trichosporon asahii infection in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and review all of the cases of breakthrough Trichosporon spp. infections published in the literature to date.
resultsWe extracted 68 cases of breakthrough Trichosporon spp. infections, wherein 95.5% patients had hematological malignancy, 61.8% of them occurred in the presence of echinocandins, 22% of triazoles, 13.2% of amphotericin and 3% of other combinations of antifungals. The most prevalent manifestation was fungemia (94%); 82.8% of these were associated with the presence of a central venous catheter. The overall mortality was 68.7%; the patients who survived recovered from the neutropenic event.
conclusionsInvasive trichosporonosis is an acute fatal condition that occurs in immunosuppressed patients, usually under antifungal selective pressure. Typically, neutropenia and its underlying diseases are associated with adverse outcomes.
