A young male with chronic nonproductive cough diagnosed with blastomycosis in China: a case report.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundBlastomycosis is a fungal infectious disease prevalent in North America and rarely reported in Asia. Misdiagnosis of malignancy and other infectious diseases were reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-years-old male patient presented with chronic non-productive cough of 4 months duration. He had been diagnosed with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and lung malignancy elsewhere and presented to us as the symptoms persisted. We offered him the biopsy under endobronchial ultrasound-guide sheath-transbronchial lung biopsy and sample specimen were sent for next generation sequencing analysis, returned as Blastomyces Dermatitidis infection. The patient was treated by itraconazole for 6 months, his symptoms decreased significantly and the CT scan showed resolution of the lesion.
conclusionWe shared a case of blastomycosis with delayed and difficult diagnosis and reviewed the knowledge regarding differential diagnosis and next generation sequencing technologies.
