1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Blastomycosis is a rare fungal infection that typically presents as a pulmonary infection. Systemic involvement of blastomycosis from the lungs commonly occurs in the skin and bones. Tracheal involvement is an unusual presentation of blastomycosis, which makes it a formidable diagnostic challenge. We herein report an unusual case of an 85-year-old man presenting with tracheal blastomycosis presenting as a primary tracheal tumor. We also highlight the challenges that were faced in the diagnosis of such an uncommon presentation. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the third occurrence of blastomycosis with tracheal involvement.
