Pulmonary Aspergillus Nodule in an Immunocompetent Host: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Aspergillus is a common fungal pathogen that typically causes severe infections in patients with compromised immunity. This report explores a rare case of a pulmonary Aspergillus nodule in an immunocompetent person without underlying conditions. A 52-year-old man initially presented for evaluation of his son's allergic rhinitis, during which a chronic cough accompanied by brown sputum was incidentally discovered. The cough started 4 months previously and then gradually worsened. He had a smoking history of 24 pack-years, without any other symptoms or underlying diseases. A chest X-ray and spiral lung CT scan revealed round haziness in the left lower lobe compatible with a pulmonary mass, leading to the diagnosis of a pulmonary Aspergillus nodule, which was confirmed by needle aspiration staining and culture. Treatment with voriconazole resulted in significant improvement and reduction in the size of the mass during the 3-month follow-up period. This case highlights the potential for pulmonary Aspergillus nodules to develop in immunocompetent individuals.
