Brucellosis Presenting as Cavitary Pneumonia with Multiple Pulmonary Nodules: A Rare Presentation.
Article in Annals of African 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
abstractBrucellosis is a common zoonotic disease, yet pulmonary involvement is rare and often mimics tuberculosis or malignancy. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with diabetes and chronic hookah use presented with persistent fever and cough. Imaging revealed right lower lobe cavitary consolidation with bilateral nodules. Even after extensively investigating, her diagnosis was inconclusive. A detailed dietary history revealed raw milk consumption, while serology confirmed brucellosis. She improved with doxycycline, rifampicin, and streptomycin therapy. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of pulmonary brucellosis in nonendemic areas and underscores the importance of thorough history and appropriate serological testing.
