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

Urban cases of blastomycosis are extremely rare and usually involve an individual or individuals with recent travel to, and outdoor exposure in, an endemic area. We report a case of severe cutaneous blastomycosis in a New York City resident. He presented to our hospital in 2023 with multiple cavitary lung nodules and a large area of fungating lesions on his back that had been progressing for a month. Cultures and pathology from the skin lesions confirmed a diagnosis of cutaneous blastomycosis, and the patient was successfully treated with a prolonged course of oral itraconazole. Given no travel history outside of the five boroughs, we believe the patient acquired the infection endemically and is the first published case of blastomycosis acquired in New York City.
