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

In this article, we report a male patient infected with HIV presenting with cryptococcal meningitis, pneumonia, and bloodstream infection, along with intestinal obstruction and gastrointestinal bleeding. Cerebrospinal fluid and bloodstream analyses revealed the presence of Cryptococcus neoformans complex. The isolated strain was sequenced and was found to belong to Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii with a new sequence type (ST). The strain led to fatal multisystemic cryptococcosis in a short time, and the patient died due to hemorrhagic shock because of gastrointestinal bleeding despite emergency rescue efforts. There are few reports about cryptococcosis in HIV-infected patients caused by new ST isolates. We report a new Cryptococcus neoformans ST (ST702) isolate causing infection in an HIV-infected patient, which merits further study and clinical attention.
