A mimic of bronchogenic carcinoma - pulmonary melioidosis.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
We report a case of a patient with pulmonary melioidosis which radiologically mirrored a bronchogenic carcinoma with mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Such findings were observed in a Computed Tomography (CT) scan (Thorax) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan (Body) in a previously healthy 57-year-old man with no significant medical risk factors for melioidosis other than his previous exposures to soil during outfield military training in Thailand, 37 and 28 years ago. He presented with acute symptoms of dry cough, pleuritic pain and fever. A CT Scan thorax revealed a left lower lobe mass with left pleural and pericardial effusion and mediastinal lymph nodes. Similarly, the PET scan showed various fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron uptake in these areas. However the lung mass biopsy cultured Burkholderia pseudomallei concurrently with a Melioidosis serology titre of >1:1024. He responded to intravenous Meropenem followed by Co-Trimoxazole and Doxycycline over the course of 21 weeks, ultimately leading to the resolution of any significant radiological findings.
