Disseminated Histoplasmosis Presenting with Panniculitis and Macrophage Activation Syndrome in a Patient Undergoing Immunosuppressive Therapy for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD).
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. 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
Histoplasmosis, a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, is endemic in many parts of the world. However, this is not common in Japan. We herein present a unique case of military histoplasmosis in a 45-year-old female with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) who was receiving immunosuppressive therapy. The histological findings coupled with molecular confirmation led to final a diagnosis. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenges associated with histoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients and underscores the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of any atypical presentation in rheumatic patients.
