Diagnostic, cardiac imaging, and management considerations in fungal infective endocarditis: a contemporary narrative review.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis 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
Background and Objective: Fungal infective endocarditis (FIE) is a rare but clinically important cause of endocarditis that poses unique challenges to diagnosis and treatment. As clinicians are faced with an aging population, increasing utilization of prosthetic valves and implantable cardiac devices, as well as increasing use of immunosuppressive therapies, which are known risk factors, familiarity with FIE is increasingly relevant. This narrative review presents the current state of knowledge concerning laboratory diagnosis, imaging tools, and treatment of FIE. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed between January 2000 and September 2025. Original research, reviews, meta-analyses, guideline documents, and consensus statements were considered. Individual case reports and non-English publications were excluded. Key Content and Findings: FIE is caused by a wide range of pathogens, with the most common etiological organisms being Conclusions: The prognosis of FIE continues to be poor, likely owing to difficulties that exist in both diagnosis and treatment. Broader awareness of the risk factors, nuanced diagnostic options and management considerations may serve to improve patient outcomes.
