Disseminated Cryptococcus in an immunocompetent patient due to prison yard pigeon exposure.
Article in IDCases, 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
Opportunistic infection by Cryptococcus is one of the most common occurrences in patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) disease or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS); however, it is a very rare discovery in the immunocompetent. This encapsulated, aerobic fungus can be found in bird droppings, the soil, or on trees, and breathing the spores can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, skin lesions, or disseminate throughout the body. We discuss the unique presentation of an immunocompetent former inmate who was admitted to the hospital due to symptoms of dyspnea and fever. After a thorough history, physical exam, and diagnostic testing, the patient was diagnosed with disseminated cryptococcosis. The patient has since made a complete recovery and was discharged home after receiving careful medical management.
