Aggressive Management of Pulmonary Mucormycosis Necrotizing Fasciitis in a Post-Liver Transplant Patient.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) is a severe fungal infection that predominantly affects immunocompromised and diabetic individuals, and it is associated with a high mortality rate, particularly in cases of disseminated disease. We present the case of a 29-year-old liver transplant recipient who developed aggressive PM, confirmed through bronchoalveolar lavage. Treatment involved liposomal amphotericin B, followed by surgical debridement and right pneumonectomy. Despite these interventions, persistent infection required an Eloesser flap procedure for enhanced drainage. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive, multidisciplinary treatment approaches, including surgery and antifungal therapy, to improve outcomes in immunocompromised patients facing this life-threatening condition.
