Clinical and Computed Tomography (CT) Characteristics of Pulmonary Nodules Caused by Cryptococcal Infection.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeTo investigate the clinical and computed tomography (CT) characteristics of pulmonary nodules caused by cryptococcal infection and gain a greater insight and understanding that will reduce misdiagnosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 47 patients with confirmed pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) manifested as nodules were retrospectively enrolled from January 2013 to December 2020. The clinical and CT data of patients with single and multiple nodules were analyzed and compared with emphasis on exploring the characteristics of the solitary ones.
resultsAmong the 47 patients, single and multiple nodules were detected in 25 (53.2%) and 22 (46.8%) patients, respectively, with similar clinical characteristics. The diameter of solitary nodules was smaller than that of the largest ones of the multiple nodules (
conclusionThe clinical characteristics of patients with solitary and multiple nodules caused by PC are similar. The solitary nodules are smaller, more scattered, but less necrotic than multiple ones. For solitary nodules with air bronchogram or vacuole, satellite lesions, or halo sign, PC should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis.
