Cerebral Venous Thrombosis due to Cryptococcus in a Multiple Sclerosis Patient on Fingolimod.
Article in Case reports in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Fingolimod is a disease-modifying treatment utilized in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Fingolimod has been associated with an increased risk in herpes simplex and varicella infection in clinical trials. We report a case of cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to cryptococcus in a patient receiving fingolimod. A 61-year-old male with multiple sclerosis treated with fingolimod presented with a 2-week history of headache, chills, and night sweats. An MRI of the brain revealed a left transverse and sigmoid sinus thrombosis. Two blood cultures revealed
