Brucella Pneumonia Mimicking Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical 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
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection prevalent in certain regions. It typically presents with nonspecific symptoms but can also cause focal organ involvement, including the musculoskeletal, neurological, or pulmonary systems. Herein, we present a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented with a 5-day history of fever and cough. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral patchy consolidations, initially suggesting an infectious etiology such as tuberculosis. Given the patient's background, further investigation confirmed brucellosis-related pneumonia, an uncommon pulmonary manifestation of brucellosis. Additional workup excluded tuberculosis as a possible cause for the lung findings. He was treated with doxycycline and rifampin, leading to symptom resolution and improvement on follow-up imaging. This case underscores the importance of considering brucellosis in the differential diagnosis of atypical pneumonia in patients from endemic regions.
