Endobronchial Actinomycosis - The Great Masquerader.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 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
abstractActinomycosis is a rare infection caused by Gram-positive, facultative anaerobic bacteria of the Actinomyceataceae family. Pulmonary Actinomycosis has a strong clinical and radiological resemblance to tuberculosis, lung abscess, and lung cancer, leading to missed or delayed diagnosis. We present a case of an elderly male with a productive cough and weight loss with right upper lobe consolidation on imaging. Definitive diagnosis was by histopathology; drawing samples by fiber-optic bronchoscopy, broncho-alveolar lavage, and endobronchial ultrasound. Tuberculosis, fungal infection, and malignancy were ruled out. Diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of filamentous colonies of Actinomyces on hematoxylin and eosin and Grocott-Gomori's methanamine silver stain. The patient showed good clinical and radiological response to Penicillin therapy.
