Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Infection Mimicking Recurrent Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Paracoccidioides infection is a rare entity in the USA. This dimorphic fungus is found in Central and South America and is thought to be acquired by inhalation through the soil. We report a case of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection presenting as a clavicular bone lesion, peripancreatic mass, and various skin lesions. A 35-year-old man with a history significant for Hodgkin lymphoma presented with a left clavicular mass that was suspected clinically and radiologically as recurrent Hodgkin lymphoma. He was not experiencing any associated symptoms and was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for his known Hodgkin disease. On CT imaging, the mass was seen as a lytic bone lesion with an overlying soft tissue mass. This was biopsied and histologically diagnosed as a Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection with associated necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Also found on the CT scan was an enlarging peripancreatic mass which on endoscopic biopsy had similar histologic findings. In conclusion, this report presents a rare case of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection mimicking recurrent Hodgkin lymphoma.
