Disseminated Cryptococcosis Revealing an HIV Infection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 a common fungal infection regarded as a disease of immunocompromised patients with high mortality. Cryptococcosis is usually observed in the central nervous system and lungs. However, other organs may be involved such as skin, soft tissue, and bones. Disseminated cryptococcosis is defined as fungemia or the involvement of two distinct sites. Here, we report the case of a 31-year-old female patient with disseminated cryptococcosis with neuro-meningeal and pulmonary involvement revealing a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Chest computed tomography scan showed a right apical excavated lesion, pulmonary nodules, and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Concerning biological tests, hemoculture, sputum, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture were positive for
