Fungal endocarditis complicating intracranial multifocal hemorrhages: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Fungal endocarditis carries a high mortality rate, with intracranial multifocal hemorrhage representing a severe yet rarely reported complication. We present a case of a 60-year-old female with a history of rheumatic valvular disease who underwent bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement and developed fungal endocarditis with vegetation formation 12 years postoperatively. Following antifungal therapy, the patient underwent redo mitral valve replacement. The postoperative course was complicated by acute subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and cerebral herniation, necessitating emergent burr hole drainage. Multidisciplinary management achieved hemodynamic stabilization, though with residual neurological deficits including hemiplegia and dysphagia.This case highlights the critical risk of fatal intracranial hemorrhage during the perioperative period of fungal endocarditis, underscoring the need for enhanced monitoring and proactive intervention. The clinical course provides valuable insights for managing such life-threatening complications.
