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
Disseminated histoplasmosis is rarely reported in patients living with cancers in Nigeria. We report a 40-year-old woman who presented with left neck swelling and abdominal pain of two weeks duration. Clinical examination and radiological findings showed pallor, epigastric tenderness, generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. An initial diagnosis of sepsis and micronutrient deficiency was made following findings of macrocytosis, hypersegmented neutrophils and toxic granulations on blood smear. Intervention with antibiotics did not improve symptoms rather her clinical presentation worsened with the onset of fever, dizziness, easy fatiguability and generalized weakness. Histology of lymph node biopsy reported a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. A repeat examination of the blood smear revealed budding yeast cells morphologically similar to
