Cryptococcus Neoformans Meningitis Cases Among China's HIV-Infected Population may have been Severely Under-Reported.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 (CM) is the leading fungal infection of the central nervous system. Globally, most CM cases have been reported from patients with compromised immunities, especially those infected with HIV. However, reports from China have shown that most CM infections were from HIV-negative, immunocompetent hosts. Here, we reviewed the published reports and found those studies were almost exclusively based on patients from hospitals associated with Chinese universities but not from specialized infectious diseases hospitals where most Chinese HIV-infected patients have been treated. Thus, we believe CM cases among China's HIV-infected population may have been severely under-reported. Analyses of CM cases in specialized infectious diseases hospitals are needed to identify the true epidemiological pattern of CM in China.
