1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 an opportunistic fungal infection considered an AIDS-defining illness, sometimes with a fatal outcome. We report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis as the initial presentation of advanced HIV-1 infection in a migrant living in a non-endemic area. Histoplasmosis was suspected based on the clinical presentation, epidemiological factors, and observation in the peripheral blood smear of neutrophils and monocytes with yeast-like forms. The diagnosis was confirmed through a positive peripheral blood smear and subsequent culture of
