A case of corneal infection with Clonostachys rosea.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. 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
backgroundThere have been no reported cases of infectious diseases associated with Clonostachys rosea. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient, 53 years old, was admitted with complaints of "foreign body sensation, tearing, and pain in the left eye for 2 weeks, aggravated for 7 days". And was admitted with a diagnosis of "fungal keratitis (left)". Fungal growth was confirmed through corneal scrape culture. Antifungal treatment included natamycin and fluconazole eye drops, along with oral terbinafine tablets. Levofloxacin eye drops were administered to prevent bacterial infection, and praprofen eye drops were prescribed to alleviate anterior chamber reaction. After 4 days of treatment, the patient reported reduced foreign body sensation, tearing, and pain in the left eye. Follow-up visits were scheduled at regular intervals, during which medication remained consistent and dosage gradually decreased with symptom improvement. After 35 days, ulcer lesions had formed scars, and confocal examination of the corneal focal area revealed normal epithelial cell growth with scar-like reflection below, without obvious mycelial hyperrefraction.
conclusionsHerein, we describe a case of corneal infection attributed to Clonostachys rosea. We outline the development and treatment of this infection to enhance clinical comprehension and management of similar cases.
