Localized Pulmonary Nocardia farcinica Infection As the Presenting Symptom of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection that most commonly affects immunocompromised patients, with clinical presentations ranging from localized to disseminated disease. In the United States, the reported incidence is approximately 500 to 1,000 cases per year, with an observed male-to-female predominance of 3:1. We present the case of a 37-year-old male with a past medical history of malaria who presented with watery, non-bloody diarrhea for four days associated with a fever for two weeks. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was positive in the emergency room before admission. Computerized tomography (CT) of the chest with contrast revealed an irregular pleural base mass in the right lower lobe with several small air foci. CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed the right pleural base lung mass to be adherent to the diaphragm, as well as mild splenomegaly. The cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) count was 9 cells/mm
