Solitary pulmonary nodule: A rare presentation of pulmonary mucormycosis in an immunocompetent adult.

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
Pulmonary mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic infection of immunocompromised individuals. Here, we report a case of 70-year-old male, smoker presenting with high-grade fever for 2 weeks and episodes of hemoptysis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) thorax revealed a solitary pulmonary nodule measuring 2.3 × 1.6 cm in the right upper lobe. CT guided fine needle aspiration cytology and true cut biopsy showed plenty of typical fungal hyphae consistent with the diagnosis of mucormycosis. Fungal culture confirmed the organism as mucor. Positron emission tomography-CT scan showed a non- 18 fluorodeoxy glucose avid nodule ruling out possibility of malignancy. Investigation did not reveal any evidence of immunosuppression. Patient was treated with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B for 4 weeks. Follow-up chest X-ray and CT scan after 6 weeks were normal.
