Cryptococcal endophthalmitis and meningitis in an immunocompetent middle-aged woman: A case report.
Article in IDCases, 2024. 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
Cryptococcus neoformans is a global invasive mycosis that is known to cause significant morbidity and mortality. It is commonly observed that individuals with compromised immune systems are more prone to developing cryptococcal meningitis. Although ocular involvement is rare, previous studies have indicated that ocular lesions precede symptomatic meningitis in only 27 % of patients with central nervous system involvement. Intraocular infections typically manifest as chorioretinopathy and vitreous inflammation, often leading to severe vision loss. In this case, we present the clinical details of a 57-year-old immunocompetent woman who visited the ophthalmology department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University with a progressive loss of vision in her right eye. After a thorough evaluation, she was diagnosed with fungal endophthalmitis, and subsequently initiated on appropriate induction anti-fungal therapy for cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment, which can potentially improve the prognosis for patients.
