Candida graft arteritis after kidney transplantation: two cases and literature review.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 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
backgroundCandida arteritis of a kidney allograft represents a severe yet rare complication in transplant recipients. Its nonspecific presentation and diagnostic difficulties necessitate a high level of clinical suspicion and a multidisciplinary approach to management. CASE PRESENTATION: We report two cases of Candida arteritis in kidney transplant recipients who presented with life-threatening bleeding from the graft anastomotic site shortly after transplantation. Histopathological examination revealed fungal invasion of the arterial walls, with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining demonstrating budding yeast cells and pseudo hyphae. Both patients underwent emergency graft nephrectomy and iliac vessel repair. Antifungal therapy with intravenous fluconazole was initiated. Despite these interventions, one patient succumbed to a rebleed ten days postoperatively, while the other survived but experienced graft loss.
conclusionThis report highlights the importance of early recognition, maintenance of sterile conditions during organ transport and vigilant postoperative monitoring to minimise the occurrence of this life-threatening complication burden.
