Cryptococcus Meningoencephalitis With Severe Localizing Neurological Deficits Mimicking a Large Right Middle Cerebral Artery Infarct in a HIV Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Immunocompromised patients with Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis can develop focal neurological signs and symptoms. Stroke and abscess are usually the leading etiologies. Definitively localized non-fluctuating deficits mimicking a large middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct without corresponding MRI findings is rare. Localized lobar cerebritis may be the underlying etiology. Despite having many different kinds of sequences, a significant pathological process can still evade MRI's detection. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) abnormality has also been seen in pathology other than ischemic stroke.
