Sarocladium implicatum: an unusual agent of opportunistic infection in a COVID-19 patient.
Article in Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo, 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
Sarocladium spp. are filamentous fungi commonly associated with plant diseases and only rarely cause hyalohyphomycosis in humans. Immunosuppressed patients are at risk for this infection, which typically presents with skin and subcutaneous lesions that may eventually disseminate to internal organs. This study reports a case of a man in intensive care following SARS-CoV-2 infection. During hospitalization, he developed neutropenia, persistent fever, and a cavitary lung lesion. Sarocladium spp. was isolated from blood cultures, and the patient was treated with voriconazole, leading to a successful cure. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Sarocladium implicatum infection in a COVID-19 patient, underscoring the importance of monitoring opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals, particularly during epidemics and pandemics.
