Fatal Pulmonary Mucormycosis in a Renal Transplant Recipient: A Missed Opportunistic Infection.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pulmonary mucormycosis has a high mortality rate if not diagnosed promptly. Early diagnosis and aggressive antifungal treatment, along with surgical debridement, can improve outcomes. We present a case of a 55-year-old African American man with end-stage renal disease who developed fatal pulmonary mucor seven months following his second deceased donor kidney transplant. This case highlights the pitfalls of empiric approaches to infections in immunocompromised hosts, assumptions based on the presence of concomitant organisms that may be present and the importance of accurate interpretation of serologic testing. The aim of this case report is to emphasize the critical importance of considering opportunistic infection in the differential diagnosis, as well as the need for early tissue diagnosis when solid organ transplant recipients present with pulmonary infections.
