Amphotericin-B-Induced Chronic Kidney Disease in a Post-COVID-19 Patient with Widespread Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis and Pneumonia: A Case Report.
Article in Current drug safety, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has posed a unique challenge to the medical community due to potential co-infections with bacteria and fungi. We report a case of Rhino cerebral mucormycosis infection in a 67-year-old patient after recovery from COVID-19.
objectiveTo report a case of Rhino cerebral mucormycosis in a 67-year-old patient with preexisting health conditions after recovering from COVID-19 and to highlight the importance of early detection and treatment of co-infections in patients with pre-existing health conditions. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient had pre-existing health conditions, including uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which made him more vulnerable to complications after COVID-19. He was admitted to the hospital after experiencing a dark discharge from his left eye, later confirmed to be due to mucormycosis. Histopathological examination revealed invasive mucormycosis, highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment. However, the patient experienced Acute kidney injury (AKI) after only 5 days of treatment with conventional amphotericin B, underscoring the need for careful monitoring and adjustment of treatment regimens. DISCUSSION: The case underscores the need for early detection and treatment of co-infections in vulnerable patients. The patient's pre-existing conditions and immunocompromised state made him more susceptible to the infection. The case also highlights the importance of careful monitoring and adjustment of treatment regimens to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
conclusionWhile COVID-19 has presented challenges and uncertainties, it has also provided valuable insights into the interactions between infectious agents and the human body. Continued research and vigilance are necessary to mitigate the impact of co-infections and improve outcomes for patients.
