Toxoplasmosis in a case with multiple serous effusions and severe aplastic anemia.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease, can cause fatal multi-organ failure in immunocompromised patients. The lack of specificity in the symptoms and the need to confirm a diagnosis of tachyzoites in fluids or tissues through microscopic examination leads to a delay in reaching a diagnosis. A 28-year-old woman with severe aplastic anemia received stem cell transplantation seven months ago, presented with fever. Computed Tomography scan and ultrasonography showed moderate pleural, pericardial, peritoneal, and pelvic effusions. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing of blood and alveolar lavage fluid was done, 11,082 and 17,154 sequence readings of Toxoplasma gondii were detected, accounting for 1.34% and 17.09% of genome coverage, respectively. Then, marrow aspirate smears showed Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites and pseudocyst. This case report alerts clinicians about Toxoplasma gondii infection in stem cell transplantation patients with multiple serous effusions and fever. Clinical trial: Not applicable.
