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

Disseminated histoplasmosis is a potentially serious complication after organ transplantation; however, its occurrence is rare, even in endemic regions. Diagnosis can be challenging, particularly in patients with nonspecific symptoms such as intermittent fever or lethargy. We report the case of a man who presented with intermittent fever 10 years after kidney transplantation. His presentation initially raised suspicion for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) but was ultimately diagnosed as disseminated histoplasmosis following mediastinal lymph node biopsy and fungal tissue culture.
