The Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Fungemia in a Tertiary Hospital in Southern China: A 6-Year Retrospective Study.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Knowledge of the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of fungemia in southern China is limited. We conducted a six-year retrospective descriptive study to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of fungemia at the largest tertiary hospital in Guangxi, southern China. Data were obtained from the laboratory registry of patients with fungemia between January 2014 and December 2019. Demographic characteristics, underlying medical conditions, and outcomes for each case were analyzed. A total of 455 patients with fungemia were identified. Unexpectedly, Talaromyces marneffei (T. marneffei) was the most frequently isolated agent causing fungemia in the region (149/475, 31.4%), and Candida albicans (C. albicans) was the most commonly isolated Candida spp. (100/475, 21.1%). We identified that more than 70% of talaromycosis fungemia developed in AIDS patients, whereas candidemia was most commonly associated with a history of recent surgery. Notably, the total mortality rate of fungemia and the mortality rate in patients with T. marneffei and Cryptococcus neoformans (C. neoformans) fungemia were significantly higher in HIV-uninfected patients than in HIV-infected patients. In conclusion, the clinical pattern of fungemia in Guangxi is different from that in previous studies. Our study may provide new guidance for the early diagnosis and prompt treatment of fungemia in similar geographic regions.
