Silent Manifestations of Disseminated Nocardia in a Renal Transplant Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report describes a unique presentation of disseminated nocardiosis in a 45-year-old male transplant recipient who initially presented with acute left hip pain. Despite being asymptomatic for respiratory symptoms, the patient developed a fever and subsequently exhibited hypoxia. A diagnostic workup revealed a cavitary mass in the right upper lobe and multiple pulmonary nodules, confirming silent pulmonary nocardiosis. Concurrently, an MRI identified myositis and a possible abscess in the left hip musculature. Treatment involved a regimen including imipenem-cilastatin and linezolid, tailored for Nocardia species farcinica. This case underscores the importance of vigilant evaluation for metastatic infections in immunocompromised patients presenting with atypical symptoms, highlighting the necessity of imaging studies such as CT of the thorax for early detection of silent pulmonary involvement.
