1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Histoplasma capsulatum is one of the most common pathogenic dimorphic fungi in Thailand. Its usual clinical syndrome is progressive disseminated histoplasmosis, whereas isolated hepatic histoplasmosis is extremely rare. Here, we report the world's first reported case of hepatic histoplasmosis with pylephlebitis in a 45-year-old Thai male who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation due to hepatitis B cirrhosis. Histopathology of the recipient's liver showed infiltration of fungal organisms in portal vein and hepatic granulomas. Serum H. capsulatum antibody was positive, and molecular identification from the liver revealed the DNA of H. capsulatum.
