Cryptococcal Meningitis Presenting as a Complication in HIV-infected Children: A Case Series From Sub-Saharan Africa.
Article in The Pediatric infectious disease journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cryptococcal meningitis is a leading infectious disease worldwide as a result of the high burden of HIV and AIDS, although its cumulative incidence is very low in children compared with that in adults. Very few studies involving the disease in children have been reported including sub-Saharan Africa, with the highest prevalence of HIV-infected children in the world. We summarize 5 cases of children diagnosed with cryptococcal meningitis at a tertiary hospital in Harare, Zimbabwe, between October 1, 2013, and September 30, 2014.
