Pulmonary mucormycosis after renal transplantation: A case report and a literature review.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection mostly encountered in immunosuppressed patients. Other major risk factors are diabetes mellitus, solid organ transplant and chronic use of glucocorticoids. Early diagnosis should be obtained as soon as possible due to the infection's aggressive behavior and high probability of dissemination. Here we present a case of pulmonary mucormycosis in a non-diabetic patient, known to have systemic lupus erythematous and had a renal transplant recently presented with shortness of breath and was treated with antibiotic as a case of chest infection with minimal improvement. Then, after full investigations, he seemed to have mucormycosis which was successfully treated with combined liposomal amphotericin B and resection of the infectious lesion.
