1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Cryptococcal meningitis is a common fungal infection of the central nervous system with high mortality and disability rates. A prominent clinical manifestation is persistent and severe cranial hypertension, which is one of the most critical outcome determinants in patients with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. Herein, we report and discuss a case of cryptococcal meningitis treated by an inadequate course of medical therapy and placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in a patient who survived for more than 10 years.
