Fatal coccidioidomycosis involving the lungs, brain, tongue, and adrenals in a cirrhotic patient. An autopsy case.
Article in IDCases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
In this paper, we describe a case of fatal disseminated coccidioidomycosis (CM). The patient was a 44-year old male with a history of cirrhosis who presented with altered mental status, cough, and an enlarged, ulcerated tongue. On evaluation, the patient was found to have coccidioidal infection of the tongue, lungs, and brain. Despite over two months of antifungal treatment, the patient died from aspiration pneumonia and at autopsy was found to have persistent infection of the tongue and lungs, extensive mycosis of the brain, and involvement of both adrenal glands. The fulminant course of coccidioidomycosis in this patient is ascribed to his baseline cirrhosis and lymphocytopenia. There are few autopsy cases of CM that have been described in the post-antifungal era and few published cases of CM with either tongue or adrenal involvement.
