Epidemiology and Outcomes of Extrapulmonary Invasive Fungal Infections After Kidney Transplantation in Northern India.
Article in Transplant infectious disease : an official journal of the Transplantation Society. 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
backgroundExtrapulmonary invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are understudied, particularly in endemic, resource-limited settings. This study evaluated the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of extrapulmonary IFIs in KTRs in northern India.
methodsIn this nested case-control study of 1649 KTRs (2007-2022), microbiologically proven extrapulmonary IFI cases were identified from microbiology and histopathology databases.
resultsExtrapulmonary IFI occurred in 67 KTRs (4.1%). Cryptococcosis (46.3%) and candidiasis (20.9%) were the predominant infections. The central nervous system was the most common site (44.8%), followed by the bloodstream (22.4%). The mean age was 46.78 years, and 85.1% were males. The median time to infection was 55 months posttransplant, and 79.1% of infections occurred beyond 1 year posttransplant. Median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 43 mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionsExtrapulmonary IFIs are late-onset and commonly present as cryptococcal meningitis or candidemia. Diabetes and methylprednisolone pulses increase infection risk, while dissemination and KRT requirement predict mortality.
