Case Report: Pulmonary brucellosis presenting as multiple cavitary lung lesions on imaging.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Pulmonary brucellosis is a rare focal manifestation of human brucellosis with non-specific clinical features. Predominant imaging findings include pneumonia, pleural effusion, pulmonary nodules, abscesses, and interstitial changes. Multiple cavitary lesions are exceptionally rare. Herein, we report a case of bilateral multiple pulmonary cavities in a 76-year-old man with a 2-year history of intermittent cough, sputum production, and progressive dyspnea that acutely worsened 10 days prior to admission with intermittent fever, anorexia, and fatigue. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed bilateral upper lobe irregular mass-like opacities and multiple nodules with heterogeneous density, punctate calcifications, and cavitation; multiple microcavitations in the right middle and lower lobes and the left lower lobe; and enlarged, calcified hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes.
