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

Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) is endemic to California's Central Valley, a region marked by socioeconomic disadvantage and health disparities. We retrospectively reviewed 72 adults with new or active disease seen at a tertiary referral center between January and June 2022. Nearly all patients lived in areas with high Social Deprivation Index and low Healthy Places Index (HPI) scores (assigned by residential ZIP code), reflecting marked neighborhood-level disadvantage. Over half required hospitalization and one-third developed complicated pulmonary or disseminated disease. Lower HPI scores were modestly associated with hospitalization, suggesting community disadvantage may contribute to Valley Fever disparities.
