Primary Cutaneous Cryptococcosis in a Patient on Fingolimod: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Primary cutaneous cryptococcosis is an uncommon condition. Patients with immunosuppression and those of older age are more susceptible to infection, warranting investigations into underlying systemic disease. We report the case of a 49-year-old male with multiple sclerosis in remission on fingolimod who presented with a non-healing skin lesion on his upper thigh for a duration of two years. Skin biopsy showed dermal parasitized histiocytes, and serum antigens for histoplasmosis and
