Disseminated Fungal Infection in Profoundly Immunocompromised Hosts: A Three-Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Disseminated fungal infection (DFI) is uncommon in the general population but represents a severe and frequently fatal complication in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with hematologic malignancies and prolonged neutropenia. In high-risk settings, invasive fungal infections occur with clinically meaningful frequency; a large systematic review of critically ill patients reported a pooled prevalence of invasive fungal infection of approximately 5%, highlighting that while DFI is uncommon in the general population, serious fungal disease is encountered more frequently in select high-risk cohorts. We report a case series of three immunocompromised patients with DFI to highlight shared clinical patterns, diagnostic limitations, and poor outcomes. Two patients developed disseminated fusariosis with pulmonary nodules and characteristic necrotic cutaneous lesions, while the third developed
