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: Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Case Presentation: We report a case of oral granulomatous histoplasmosis in a 53-year-old immunocompetent male, initially suspected of having lymphoma or tuberculosis. To our knowledge, this is an exceptional case of oral histoplasmosis diagnosed in an immunocompetent patient through a combination of tissue fungal culture, pathological biopsy, and metagenomic capture sequencing (metaCAP). Conclusion: The case highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in persistent oral lesions of immunocompetent patients. It also demonstrates that metaCAP, alongside conventional culture and histopathology, can facilitate a definitive diagnosis in challenging cases.
