Secondary fungal infections in severe acute viral diseases: clinical features and underlying immune mechanisms.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 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
Secondary fungal infections are increasingly recognized as critical factors in the prognosis of severe acute viral infections, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome virus, and Dengue. This review outlines the clinical features of fungal complications, proposing a "virus-driven immune reprogramming" framework. It highlights how viral infections disrupt immune barriers, impair the Th17-IL-17 antifungal axis, attenuate platelet immune function, and involve unique pathogen interactions, creating a host immune microenvironment that is more susceptible to fungal invasion. Understanding these immune-injury mechanisms underscores the clinical importance of earlier surveillance of secondary fungal disease and informs the development of mechanism-guided therapeutic approaches to improve patient outcomes.
