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

Disseminated histoplasmosis is a severe opportunistic infection in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, particularly in those with CD4 lymphocyte counts of ≤50 cells/µL. Cutaneous involvement usually occurs as part of disseminated disease and, in some cases, may represent the first manifestation of systemic involvement. Cutaneous manifestations are highly variable, and these lesions are commonly associated with constitutional symptoms and pulmonary involvement. We present the case of a 53-year-old man with a history of HIV infection clinical stage C3, miliary tuberculosis with incomplete treatment, and poor therapeutic adherence. He developed a pruritic dermatosis characterized by erythematous lesions associated with fever, odynophagia, asthenia, and adynamia. At admission, generalized and symmetrical dermatosis was observed, consisting of innumerable erythematous-violaceous papules and macules coalescing into plaques, in addition to palmoplantar lesions with a collarette scale resembling the "Biett sign." Histopathological examination demonstrated histiocytes filled with multiple intra- and extracellular yeast-like structures consistent with
