Solitary Cerebellar Toxoplasmosis as the First Presentation of HIV Infection: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Toxoplasmosis is the most common space-occupying lesion in HIV-infected patients that typically presents as a space-occupying lesion in the supratentorial region, often manifesting as focal neurological deficits. Infratentorial toxoplasmosis is extremely rare, with a few reported cases in the literature. Here, we are reporting a 53-year-old healthy female presented with isolated single cerebellar toxoplasmosis as a first manifestation of HIV infection. The patient underwent suboccipital craniotomy and tumor excision, and the subsequent histopathological exam revealed toxoplasma protozoan. While cerebral toxoplasmosis is common in HIV-infected patients, cerebellar involvement is rare and requires prompt diagnosis for effective treatment. A high index of suspicion is emphasized to prompt early diagnosis and initiation of therapy.
