Incidence and characteristics of candidemia in hospitalised patients with advanced HIV in the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) hospital in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Article in AIDS research and therapy, 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
Candidemia is an underrecognised complication among patients with advanced HIV disease (AHD), particularly in low‑resource settings. We conducted a retrospective study at an MSF-supported hospital in Kinshasa (2022-2025) to describe the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of candidemia. Among 3974 AHD admissions, 46 candidemia cases (1.2%) were identified, more than 80% of which were healthcare‑associated. Mortality was high (76.1%) and many deaths occurred before microbiological confirmation. Classical risk factors, such as indwelling catheters and parenteral nutrition, were uncommon, suggesting alternative pathogenic mechanisms. Findings highlight the need for improved diagnostics and access to antifungal susceptibility testing.
