A case of gastrointestinal histoplasmosis with esophageal involvement.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Histoplasmosis is a common infection endemic to the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys caused by the inhalation of Histoplasma capsulatum spores from contaminated soil. Most infections are asymptomatic; however, patients with impaired cellular immunity (HIV infection, hematologic malignancy, solid organ transplant, hematopoietic stem cell transplant or TNF-⍺ inhibitor use) are at risk for disseminated disease. Disseminated histoplasmosis commonly affects the lungs, liver, spleen, bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract. Esophageal involvement is rare and usually due to extrinsic compression from affected mediastinal/hilar lymph nodes. Herein, we report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an AIDs patient involving the esophagus, without evidence of mediastinal involvement.
