Cryptococcal rib osteomyelitis as primary and only symptom of idiopathic CD4 penia.
Article in Medical mycology case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
A 59-year old man with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia presented with extensive disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans infection including a large rib cryptoccocoma, vertebral spondylitis and pleural empyema. Complete resection of the affected part of the rib was necessary after failure of initial antifungal treatment. The vertebral spondylitis has been successfully managed at 3 years of follow-up by continuous itraconazole treatment and regular MRI combined with leucocyte scintigraphy assessment.
