Intra-cardiac aspergilloma in a normally structured heart: A case report.

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
Fungal endocarditis is a relatively rare condition which mostly complicates those with intra-cardiac devices and those whose immune system is compromised. Here we present a 63-year-old diabetic man with two-weeks history of weakness and fatigue plus low-grade fever. Transesophageal echocardiography showed a mobile mass attached to the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve which protruded into the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract. Cardiac magnetic resonance further confirmed the presence of a large broad base 18 × 20 × 18 mm mass without gadolinium enhancement suggestive for fungal infection. Voriconazole was administered on the same day after which distal embolization of the mass to distal abdominal aorta ensued shortly. Echocardiography documented the disappearance of the mass from LV outflow tract. Vascular surgeon removed the mass from abdominal aorta immediately and pathology revealed the aspergilloma which was later confirmed by culture. After embolization the patient had become unstable and signs of septic shock occurred which ultimately led to his death in 72 h. Presence of
