Unprecedented Polymicrobial Bacteremia With Nine Microorganisms in a Critically Ill 95% Burn 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
This report describes the case of a 21-year-old male with 95% total body surface area full-thickness burns who developed polymicrobial bacteremia involving nine distinct bacterial species, the highest number of diverse bacterial species documented to simultaneously coexist in a patient's bloodstream. Despite aggressive surgical, antimicrobial, and multidisciplinary interventions, the patient succumbed to sepsis after 12 days. The case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of managing complex infections in burn patients and underscores the critical importance of early detection, prompt treatment, and coordinated care. A literature review of the identified pathogens provides context and reveals notable findings relevant to this unprecedented case.
