Chronic Cavitary Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Review in The American journal of case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND Aspergillus spores have the ability to affect patients with or without intact immune systems; because of this disease's wide patient involvement it deserves a place on the differential diagnosis list, with endocarditis and tuberculosis, for those presenting with new pulmonary nodules or cavitation. CASE REPORT This case report involves the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of a 69-year-old female who presented with new rapidly progressing cavitary lung lesions in the setting of copious administration of systemic steroid use. Given the patient's past history of alcoholism and environmental exposure, her case was not straight forward in regard to a diagnosis. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with chronic cavity pulmonary aspergillosis in the setting of chronic immunosuppression secondary to systemic steroid administration. Due to her convoluted medical history and the poor differential diagnosis list, there was a delay in final diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS This case report and clinical review aims to prevent anchoring when the patient's presentation is not straight forward and aims to remind the clinician of the importance of a differential diagnosis.
