Vision loss in an AIDS patient with cryptococcal meningitis.
Article in Medical mycology case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cryptococcal meningitis is considered one of the AIDS-defining illness and has been reported to be associated with neurological sequels. However, acute vision loss as presenting complaint is rare in Cryptococcal meningitis. Management of Cryptococcal meningitis with antifungal therapy may not lead to favourable outcomes and may necessitate the need for invasive intervention. We report a case of acute bilateral visual loss secondary to Cryptococcal meningitis.
