Cryptococcus gattii outbreak expands into the Northwestern United States with fatal consequences.
Article in F1000 biology reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
In the past decade, the primary fungal pathogen Cryptococcus gattii has evolved and adapted to the temperate climate of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. This pathogen is now endemic and an increasingly common cause of life-threatening pulmonary and central nervous system infections that are difficult to manage and, in some cases, fatal to humans and other mammals throughout the region. A series of recent reports provide evidence that evolutionary, climatic, and anthropogenic factors may be causing the expansion of the Vancouver Island outbreak genotype into the United States, with the concomitant emergence of a unique genotype in the state of Oregon. Ongoing studies address the molecular epidemiology, roles of mating and genetic exchange, and geographic origins of this unprecedented outbreak of fungal infection of considerable public health magnitude.
