Infected Thoracic Aneurysm with Progressive Exudative Unilateral Pleural Effusion: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2026. 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
An infected aneurysm can be fatal; however, its early diagnosis is challenging because of the non-specificity of its symptoms. We herein report the case of a 90-year-old female patient with an infected aneurysm who presented with progressive, unilateral pleural effusion. A pleural fluid analysis revealed a mononuclear cell-predominant exudate with an elevated adenosine deaminase (ADA) level of 61.4 U/L. While these findings indicate that an infected aneurysm should be considered a possible cause of unilateral pleural effusion, the presence of elevated ADA, suggesting an unrelated condition, may lead to a misdiagnosis. Blood cultures and follow-up imaging are therefore necessary adjuncts to a comprehensive assessment of the patient's condition if an infected aneurysm is to be definitively diagnosed.
