Why is biopsy of suspected fungal lung lesions necessary?
Article in Medical mycology case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The recognition of antifungal resistance is necessary for the choice of the appropriate treatment in patients with invasive fungal disease. In this case report, the need for a computed tomography-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of a suspected fungal lesion in a patient treated for acute leukemia is demonstrated. Detection of Amphothericin-B resistant Aspergillus flavus infection has prompted the switch in antifungal therapy, followed by full resolution of symptoms, completion of chemotherapy and remission since then.
