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

Background: Neurological manifestations of paracoccidioidomycosis are uncommon, and the clinical presentation can include a variety of symptoms that depends specially on the lesion's site. Case Description: This article reports the case of a 63-year-old rural worker who presented with progressive imbalance and diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested a likely inflammatory/infectious etiology. The diagnosis was confirmed by the intraoperative frozen section and direct microscopic examination. Treatment started with amphotericin B and, later on, with itraconazole due to decreased renal function. The patient responded well and had improvement in symptoms. Conclusion: Being aware of the patient environment is crucial for diagnosing neuroparacoccidioidomycosis. A detailed anamnesis, with description of professional and residence location, as well as other risky activities, should be done. The treatment must be individualized depending on clinical conditions and comorbidities, but amphotericin B and itraconazole are the most indicated and standardized options.
