Two Cases of Miliary and Disseminated Coccidioidomycosis Following Glucocorticoid Therapy and Literature Review.
Review in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 49-year-old man with no significant past medical history received dexamethasone as part of his treatment for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Less than 3 weeks later, the patient developed acute respiratory distress syndrome. Radiological and serological testing led to a diagnosis of acute hypoxic miliary coccidioidomycosis. A 52-year-old man with a past medical history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was treated with prednisone for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Within 2 weeks, this patient developed bilateral lower extremity weakness. Radiology, serology, and lumbar puncture proved a diagnosis of reactivated coccidioidomycosis with miliary pattern and coccidioidomycosis meningoencephalitis with arachnoiditis. Whether treatment with glucocorticoids caused reactivation of coccidioidomycosis is discussed in this case series.
