Detected SARS-CoV-2 in Ascitic Fluid Followed by Cryptococcemia: a Case Report.
Article in SN comprehensive clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 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
SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection in different clinical specimens has raised important insights about its pathogenesis, but some details remain to be understood. In that respect, disrupt viral control seen in solid organ transplant patients on chronic immunosuppression can help unveil pathogenic mechanisms and characterize new coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) immunological and clinical aspects, as well as secondary complications. We herein report a case of SARS-CoV-2 detection in ascitic fluid from a kidney transplant patient with decompensated cirrhosis and COVID-19 and then discuss about immune, cellular, and virological aspects of such clinical presentation of the disease, which also included a disseminated infection, demonstrated by viral detection in his blood sample. We subsequently discuss about the fatal outcome caused by a secondary bloodstream infection by Cryptococcus neoformans. This unprecedented case report presents ascitic fluid as a novel specimen in which SARS-CoV-2 can be detected. Immune dysregulation and cumulative risk factors may lead to secondary infections by opportunistic agents, including Cryptococcus neoformans.
