Use of trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole for treating
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. 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
Background: Case presentation: Here, we present the case of a lymphoma patient with previous G6PD deficiency who was admitted to ICU for the treatment of severe pneumonia combined with respiratory failure. PJP was detected by the next-generation sequencing of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The patient was initially treated with the antifungal drug caspofungin; however, this treatment showed poor therapeutic effect. Based on the evaluation of G6PD enzyme activity and the patient's previous history of G6PD deficiency, we finally treated the patient with low-dose TMP-SMX combined with caspofungin and provided rigorous medical care to the patient. Following this treatment, the patient's clinical symptoms improved, lung computed tomography showed reduced pulmonary inflammation, and the fungal β-(1,3)-D-glucan test (G test) showed decreased levels of fungal D-glucan. After 57 days, the TMP-SMX treatment was discontinued. No symptoms related to G6PD deficiency, such as hemolysis, hematuria, and anemia, occurred during the treatment course. Conclusion: This is the first report mentioning the successful treatment of
