An overview of COVID-19 related to fungal infections: what do we know after the first year of pandemic?
Review in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology], 2022. 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 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by CoV-2 virus became a pandemic worldwide, being the fast spread of the disease due to the movement of infected people from one country to another, from one continent to another, or within the same country. Associated comorbidities are important factors that predispose to any fungal coinfections. Because of the importance of fungal infections in COVID-19 patients, the aim of this work was to collect data of the more encountered mycoses related to patients undergoing this disease. Aspergillosis was the first COVID-19-related fungal infection reported, being A. fumigatus the most frequent species for CAPA. Other fungal infections related include mainly candidiasis and mucormycosis, being Rhizopus spp. the more prevalent species found. Influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis is well documented; thus, similar complications are expected in severe forms of COVID-19 pneumonia. Therefore, in patients with COVID-19, it is important to take special attention to the surveillance and suspicion of fungal coinfections that might worsen the patient's prognosis.
