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

Background: Disseminated histoplasmosis caused by the temperature-dependent dimorphic fungus Case Presentation: We present the case of a 57-year-old HIV-negative female patient with disseminated histoplasmosis in southern China. The patient showed progressively enlarging multiple clavicular, neck, and upper chest skin nodules and dyspnea, which led to the initial suspicion of pulmonary tuberculosis or lung cancer. Bacterial cultures results were negative. Histopathology of a skin tissue showed infectious granulomas. Disseminated histoplasmosis was diagnosed via next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and fungal culture. Furthermore, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results from a peripheral blood confirmed that the patient had a high-titer of AIGA. Conclusion: This case prompts clinicians to consider histoplasmosis an important differential diagnosis in a region where talaromycosis is highly endemic. This case report emphasizes that clinicians should be vigilant for immunodeficiency and consider testing for AIGA in HIV-negative patients who are suspected of having complex opportunistic infections.
