Fungal infections in burn patients: The rise of Fusarium as the most prevalent in a burn center in Mexico City.
Article in Medical mycology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Burns are among the most devastating traumatic injuries. The primary risk of infection stems from disruption of the primary barrier, the skin. For patients with deep burns, loss of the dermis is the main risk factor for systemic bacterial and fungal infections, which occur in 70% and 20%-25% of cases, respectively. Meanwhile, viral infections occur in 5%-10% of cases. Fungal infections are associated with mortality rates ranging from 33% to 60%. This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis conducted at the Centro Nacional de Investigación y Atención de Quemados at the Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación Luis Guillermo Ibarra Ibarra in Mexico City. The study examined all fungi recovered from biopsies of burn patients from July 2011 to July 2023. A total of 63 cases were included, predominantly flame burns (77.78%), with Fusarium spp. (53.97%) as the predominant fungal genus associated with infection, followed by Aspergillus spp. (19.04%). Most patients had third-degree burns, and the mean total body surface area burned was 46.2%. This study aims to describe the epidemiology and distribution of mold infections in a tertiary care center for burn patients in Mexico City from July 2011 to July 2023.
