Challenges in the Diagnosis of Invasive Fungal Infections in Immunocompromised Hosts.
Review in Current fungal infection reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
purpose of reviewThe expanding population of immunocompromised patients coupled with the recognition of a growing number of different species of fungi responsible for diseases in such hosts makes the diagnosis of invasive fungal infection (IFI) a challenging task. The recent advances and challenges in the diagnosis of IFI in the setting of immunocompromised hosts are reviewed. The advantages and limitations of histopathology and the role of culture-independent methods, such as those based on the use of nucleic acids applied to fresh and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections, besides culture- and non-culture-based diagnostic methods, to obtain a timely and correct diagnosis of IFI are highlighted. RECENT
findingsThe therapeutic implications of identifying the genus and species of the fungus present in the specimen with the molecular diagnostics applied to tissue specimens are reviewed. No method alone is efficient in correctly identifying fungi and it is essential to combine the traditional histochemical staining with molecular methods to achieve a rapid and genus-/species-specific diagnosis of IFI. SUMMARY: We review the recent findings and challenges in the hystopathologic diagnosis of IFI in the setting of immunocompromised hosts. Non method alone is efficient in correctly identify fungi and pathologists should combine classic staining with molecular methods to achieve a rapid and genus/species fungal diagnosis.
