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

rationaleAlthough paracoccidioidomycosis is one of the most prevalent endemic mycoses in Latin American countries, where at least 10 million people are infected, the prevalence of paracoccidioidomycosis in China remains unknown because no related case has been reported, and its diagnosis is extremely challenging for local clinicians because of the complexity of disease progression and lack of specific evidence. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here, we report the first case of PCM in a male patient with a long-term latent infection in China. DIAGNOSIS: The results of special staining, immunohistochemistry, lymph node biopsy pathology, and metagenomic second-generation sequencing indicated that the patient was infected with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

interventionsIn this case, the patient was administered voriconazole 200 mg twice daily. OUTCOMES: After continuous treatment for 6 months, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, and the medication was discontinued. The outpatient follow-up revealed no discomfort. LESSONS: This case is of great value for the early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the spread of this emerging infectious disease in China.
