Accurate diagnosis of bronchopulmonary
Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 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
rationalePATIENT CONCERNS: A 56-year-old Chinese man presented with a 5-month history of intermittent low or high fever and dry cough, followed by fatigue, night sweating, and chest pain when coughing. A large hilar lesion in the left lung and multiple mediastinal lymph node enlargements were found on his chest CT scan. DIAGNOSES: The patient received EBUS-TBNA of hilar tissue and lymph node biopsy for mNGS at the second Ultrasonic bronchoscopy. No fungal hyphae or spores were found in the histopathology. There were high sequencing reads of
interventionThe patient went through atrial fibrillation at the first dose of amphotericin B liposomes and treated with voriconazole later. OUTCOMES: His fever, cough and dyspnea quickly disappeared since the fourth day of treatment. After six months, there was not any focus in his chest CT scans. But his plasma anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies remained unchanged. LESSONS: Complementing the traditional laboratory and bronchoscopy, mNGS combined with EBUS-TBNA facilitate rapid and precise diagnosis of bronchopulmonary mediastinal lymph nodes
