Diagnosis and Treatment of Foot Fusarium Infection Confirmed by Molecular Identification: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Clinical 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
Fusarium spp. are opportunistic fungal pathogens, with an increasing incidence of infection observed in immunocompromised populations. Due to the non-specific clinical manifestations of cutaneous Fusarium infections, they are often misdiagnosed or overlooked. This article reports an 84-year-old man with a chronic post-traumatic foot lesion in whom histopathology was non-diagnostic, while the definitive diagnosis of Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) was established by positive fungal culture from deep tissue biopsy followed by 18S rDNA/ITS sequencing. The patient's condition improved following individualized antifungal therapy. Combined with a literature review, we discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and treatment challenges associated with FSSC skin infections. This case underscores the limitations of traditional fungal culture and highlights the necessity of molecular methods, such as 18S rDNA and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequencing, for early and accurate diagnosis. Treatment should be guided by antifungal susceptibility testing and host immune status, with particular attention to the intrinsic resistance patterns of Fusarium species.
