Chronic Candida albicans meningoencephalitis in a patient with mantle cell lymphoma: a diagnostic challenge.
Article in Neurological research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Due to its unspecific clinical presentation and the multitude of possible etiologies, chronic meningoencephalitis in immunosuppressed patients often represents a diagnostic challenge. Here, we report the clinical, radiological, cerebrospinal fluid, and microbiological findings of a 54-year-old male immunocompromised patient with mantle cell lymphoma and a 2-month history of brainstem and spinal meningoencephalitis. After unsuccessful treatment trials with antibiotics, a Candida albicans infection was confirmed by biopsy of a spinal cord lesion and large-volume cerebrospinal fluid culture. Therapy with liposomal amphotericin B/flucytosine and subsequent fluconazole resulted in significant clinical improvement. This case illustrates the importance of identifying the underlying cause of chronic meningoencephalitides in immunocompromised patients.
