Genitourinary Blastomycosis in a Young Male Patient: A Case Report and Review of Diagnostic Challenges.
Article in Case reports in infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Disseminated blastomycosis is an endemic fungal infection that rarely manifests with genitourinary involvement. We present a unique case of a 28-year-old professional male gamer with a remote history of hemoptysis and cervical lymphadenopathy who presented with hematospermia, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and persistent groin abscesses after left orchiectomy at an outside hospital. He underwent drainage of groin abscess and prostate biopsy for an abnormal digital rectal exam which revealed disseminated blastomycosis requiring systemic, long-term antifungal treatment. We have also included a review of literature to note clinical patterns in presentations and highlight the diagnostic challenges that this infection presents.
