Cryptococcus neoformans osteomyelitis of the radius treatment with antifungal calcium sulphate: A case report and literature review.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Case presentation: We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with no underlying disease who presented with progressive distal swelling of the left forearm. The patient was initially suspected by local doctors of a malignant bone tumor. For further diagnosis, we performed a computed tomography-guided biopsy of the radius and found granulomatous inflammation with massive macrophage infiltration and a specific stain showing mycosis. Genetic testing revealed a high abundance of Conclusion: It is the second case of Cryptococcus osteomyelitis as the only manifestation of extrapulmonary disease since 1973. It should be a safe and effective method to eliminate dead space, release antifungal drugs for a long time and increase bone stability by filling bone defect with antifungal drugs and calcium sulfate bone powder.
