Incidental diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis by rebiopsy for epidermal growth factor receptor T790M mutation: A case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2023. 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
Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal infection that can occur in cancer patients. A case of pulmonary cryptococcosis in a patient treated with erlotinib + ramucirumab for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) L858R point mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer is presented. During chemotherapy, a new pulmonary nodule was found and considered progressive disease. Examination of the biopsy specimen taken to identify EGFR T790M mutation incidentally led to the diagnosis of pulmonary cryptococcosis. Three months after taking fluconazole, chest computed tomography showed that the pulmonary nodule had shrunk. New pulmonary nodules during lung cancer treatment require careful attention, not only because of disease progression, but also because of the possibility of infection in an immunocompromised host.
