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

The incidence and distribution of coccidioidomycosis are increasing. Information scarcity is evident in Mexico, particularly in non-endemic zones and specific populations. We compared the treatment and outcomes for patients with isolated pulmonary infections and those with disseminated coccidioidomycosis, including mortality rates within six weeks of diagnosis. Of 31 CM cases, 71% were male and 55% were disseminated. For 42% of patients, there was no evidence of having lived in or visited an endemic region. All patients had at least one comorbidity, and 58% had pharmacologic immunosuppressants. The general mortality rate was 30%; without differences between disseminated and localized disease. In our research, we describe a CM with a high frequency of disseminated disease without specific risk factors and non-significant mortality. Exposure to endemic regions was not found in a considerable number of subjects. We consider diverse reasons for why this may be, such as climate change or migration.
