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

Primary infection related to the fungus, histoplasmosis, is generally asymptomatic in immunocompetent hosts. Calcified granulomas may be noted incidentally on radiologic imaging such as chest radiographs or computed tomography imaging. However, even in immunocompetent hosts, these primary infections occasionally result in end-organ involvement including respiratory compromise. Histoplasmosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with respiratory involvement and mediastinal adenopathy. We present two pediatric-aged patients who developed pulmonary involvement related to a primary histoplasmosis infection that resulted in mediastinal and tracheal lymphadenopathy. These led to respiratory compromise due to pleural effusion in the first patient and tracheal compression in the second. In this paper, the basic microbiology of
