Case report: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing for the diagnosis of rare
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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: Nocardiosis poses a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity in clinical practice, non-specific clinical symptoms and imaging features, and the limitations of traditional detection methods. Case presentation: A 52-year-old woman with a history of immune thrombocytopenia for over 2 years was hospitalized for recurrent fever and cough lasting for 10 days. Her initial diagnosis on admission was community-acquired pneumonia, based on chest computed tomography findings of lung inflammation lesion. Empirical treatment with moxifloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) was initiated. However, her condition failed to improve significantly even after 1 week of treatment. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) subjected to mNGS revealed the presence of Conclusion: We report the first detailed case of pulmonary nocardiosis caused by
