Disseminated Histoplasmosis as a Cause of a Small Bowel Mass and Cholestatic Liver Injury in an Immunocompetent Host: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Disseminated histoplasmosis is a rare cause of granulomatous, cholestatic liver disease. It can also manifest with gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement, usually with ulceration or mucosal thickening, but is rarely reported as a cause of mass lesions in the GI tract. It is also very rare for disseminated histoplasmosis to present in an immunocompetent host. Case Presentation: We present a case of cholestatic liver disease and a small bowel mass in a 50-year-old male that has not previously been described in an immunocompetent host. Conclusion: Timely diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, particularly if there has been exposure to high-risk environments such as contaminated soils, as delayed diagnosis is associated with significant mortality.
