Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis in a Patient With Chronic Disseminated Blastomycosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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 alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare diffuse lung disease characterized by the intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant, leading to progressive gas exchange impairment. While autoimmune PAP, driven by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) autoantibodies, accounts for the majority of cases, its association with chronic fungal infections is exceedingly rare. Only one prior case of PAP occurring in the setting of active blastomycosis has been documented since 1995. We present a unique case of a patient with chronic disseminated blastomycosis who developed worsening respiratory failure due to the development of autoimmune PAP. It highlights the importance of broadening the differential diagnosis when patients with known pulmonary infections fail to respond to appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
