Successful Treatment with Surgical Resection for Nocardia cyriacigeorgica Infection in Pulmonary Sequestration.

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
Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital lung malformation involving the systemic arterial blood. Infection is a common complication; however, Nocardia infection is rare. We report the case of a 55-year-old immunocompetent male with recurrent infection of a pulmonary cyst in the left lower lobe. Despite the use of empirical antibiotics, the inflammation recurred. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography confirmed pulmonary sequestration, and bronchoscopy revealed Nocardia cyriacigeorgica. Although trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was effective, it was discontinued because of severe drug-induced rash. Surgical resection resolved the infection without the use of long-term antibiotics. Timely consideration of surgical intervention may be important for infection control in pulmonary sequestration complicated by Nocardia, especially when antibiotic management is difficult.
