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

backgroundHistoplasmosis is one of the invasive fungal infections and presents with symptoms mainly in the lungs. Disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) is rare and its lesions in the gastrointestinal tract are even uncommon. The concomitant involvement of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract has never been described in the immunocompetent individuals. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old immunocompetent Chinese man presented with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, fungal esophagitis and protuberant lesions with central depression and erosion along the mucous membrane of the colon. The patient was diagnosed as disseminated histoplasmosis by gastrointestinal endoscopy.

conclusionsHistoplasmosis should be taken caution in patients with fever and hepatosplenomegaly. Actions should be taken to avoid its disseminated infection associated high mortality.
