Parasitic necrotizing pneumonia in an immunocompetent patient in United States.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
A 59-year-old Baltimore native female, with a history of asthma and no history of travel outside of the USA, presented with productive cough and shortness of breath. Computed tomography scan showed left upper lobe consolidation of the lung with multiple tiny cavitations. She was empirically treated without improvement. Later, strongyloides were found in the sputum gram stain and she was treated with ivermectin. Pulmonary strongyloidiasis has been mainly described in patients who are immunosuppressed and have a history of travel to endemic areas, both of which were absent in our patient. Our case underlines the importance of considering strongyloides necrotizing pneumonia as a differential diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia even in immunocompetent patients in the USA, especially if not responding to empiric treatment.
