Demonstration of cavitary legionnaires' pneumonia in a renal transplant recipient.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Legionella pneumophila is a potentially life-threatening infection, especially for individuals with compromised cell-mediated immunity. Typical chest CT findings include multilobed or multisegmented consolidations and ground-glass opacities, but cavitary lesions are rare. This case report details a 29-year-old male renal transplant recipient who developed cavitary Legionnaires' pneumonia. His medical history includes focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and recurrent FSGS post-transplant, managed with a complex immunosuppressive regimen. Following an acute episode of allograft dysfunction treated with alemtuzumab, he developed respiratory symptoms, and initial diagnostics revealed Legionella pneumophila. Despite initial improvement, he presented with worsening symptoms and was readmitted where CT scans indicated necrotizing pneumonia with cavitary lesions. This case highlights the need for vigilant monitoring and tailored therapeutic strategies in immunocompromised patients with Legionnaires' disease.
