Pulmonary mucormycosis complicated with transplant renal dysfunction: A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2026. 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
Case history: Patient is a 60-year-old woman admitted with "intermittent dry cough for 3 months". Past medical history includes hypertension, uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus, status post renal transplantation, and chronic renal insufficiency. Initial investigations at an outside hospital revealed leukocytosis (15.8 × 10 Symptoms and signs: Predominantly dry cough, occasionally accompanied by a small amount of white mucous sputum, accompanied by pharyngeal constriction when coughing violently, profuse sweating and loss of appetite; on examination, the right lung respiratory sounds were coarse, and wet rales were detected, and the rest of the lungs were unremarkable. Diagnostic methods: Bronchoscopy revealed obstruction by necrotic material in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) demonstrated broad, aseptate hyphae with irregular wide-angle branching. Histopathological examination of the lung biopsy specimen showed fungal aggregates morphologically consistent with Mucorales (positive on periodic acid-Schiff [PAS] and Grocott's methenamine silver [GMS] stains). Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) excluded bacterial and mycobacterial infections. Serial chest CT imaging documented a cavitary lesion in the right lung with multilobar nodules. Treatment: Initially, moxifloxacin was given as empirical anti-infection, and after diagnosis, due to combined renal insufficiency after renal transplantation, gradual incremental amphotericin B liposome (5mg→40mg/d) treatment was given, combined with nebulized amphotericin B, which was adjusted to amphotericin B cholesterol sulfate complex due to persistent elevation of creatinine (peak value of 193μmol/L). After discharge from the hospital, due to recurrent disease, he was switched to long-term consolidation with esaconazole (200mg q8h × 2d sequential 200mg qd), combined with beryllium capsules for renal and lung protection. Clinical outcome: Chest CT showed shrinkage of the cavity after 28 days of treatment, and 2-year follow-up showed significant resorption of the lung lesions, reduction of blood creatinine from 245 μmol/L to 129.10 μmol/L, and maintenance of stable renal function. Target audience: Transplant nephrology, endocrinology, infectious diseases, and pulmonology specialists.
