Histoplasmosis Outbreaks in Brazil: Lessons to Learn About Preventing Exposure.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 considered the most common invasive opportunistic fungal disease in the Americas, with outbreaks and micro-epidemics reported for over 80 years. In Brazil, this disease has been described since 1946, reaching a remarkable incidence in the population, especially during the HIV-AIDS pandemic. In this study, published and unpublished outbreaks and micro-epidemics of histoplasmosis in Brazil were revisited by accessing different database sources and evaluating epidemiological and clinical features. We have found reports spanning 1946-2017, across 10 Brazilian states and with involvement of 370 humans and 2 dogs, and 13 disseminated cases and 3 deaths were reported. Rio de Janeiro had the largest number of outbreaks (n = 20/40; 50%) reported in this study. The majority of outbreaks and micro-epidemics was reported in caves (n = 21/40; 52.5%), followed by reports in abandoned/deactivated sites (n = 6/40; 15%), mines (n = 5/40; 12.5%), chicken coops (n = 4/40; 10%). Histoplasmosis is a serious health issue in Brazil considering the attractive and growing market of ecotourism throughout more than 7000 caves, and all levels of poultry farming activity are important to raise awareness about how dangerous this neglected disease can be and establish ways to decrease exposure to contaminated environmental sources through adequate preventive measures.
