How Histoplasma Evades the Human Immune System.
Review in Acta medica academica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This review summarises the current knowledge of the interactions between Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) and the human immune system, with particular emphasis on host immune responses and fungal immune evasion mechanisms that modulate disease pathogenesis and clinical outcomes. Histoplasmosis is a disease caused by Hc, a fungus found worldwide. Upon inhalation, complex interactions occur between the pathogen and the human immune system, primarily involving the recognition of fungal cell wall components. Both innate and adaptive immune responses are orchestrated to eliminate the fungus through a tightly regulated balance. However, Hc has evolved multiple strategies to evade host defences and establish infection. The clinical spectrum of histoplasmosis varies, ranging from isolated pulmonary involvement to disseminated disease, depending on host factors and pathogen characteristics.
conclusionOverall, host-pathogen interactions between Hc and the human immune system play a central role in determining disease outcomes and represent key targets for improving preventive, diagnostic, and treatment strategies.
