A Rare Case of Blastomycosis in a Psoriasis Patient Treated With Ustekinumab (Stelara).

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
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition mediated by T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 17 (Th17) cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-12, IL-23, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Ustekinumab, a human monoclonal antibody against the p40 subunit of IL-12/23, has revolutionized treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis but carries a risk of opportunistic infections due to impaired cell-mediated immunity. We describe a 54-year-old man from Kentucky with type 2 diabetes and chronic sinusitis, receiving ustekinumab for 1 year for plaque psoriasis. He presented with recurrent pneumonia unresponsive to multiple courses of amoxicillin-clavulanate, azithromycin, and levofloxacin. Chest imaging consistently demonstrated left lower lobe airspace opacities, initially attributed to nonresolving bacterial pneumonia or possible malignancy. On bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage, scattered broad-based budding yeast were visualized, and culture confirmed
