Pleural aspergillosis in a patient with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax: The challenge of an optimal therapeutic approach.
Article in Medical mycology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Pleural aspergillosis (PA) is a rare but potentially fatal disease. Most cases are secondary to bronchopleural fistulae or pleural intervention and can occur in the absence of immunosuppression. We report a case of PA in a young patient after pleurodesis for recurrent pneumothorax. Clinical resolution was achieved with systemic and local antifungal therapy combined with surgical debridement. Hepatotoxicity led to a switch from voriconazole to isavuconazole, with a successful outcome.
