Giant Posterior Fossa Neurocryptococcoma Mimicking a Brain Tumor in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 rare infection that can affect the central nervous system (CNS), leading to neurological complications. Neurocryptococcoma, though uncommon, can present with significant morbidity. We report the case of a 31-year-old immunocompetent woman who developed a large posterior fossa neurocryptococcoma. The lesion was successfully treated with complete surgical resection via occipital craniotomy. Diagnosing a cryptococcal infection can be challenging due to its rarity and the variability of its presentation. Management typically involves either medical or surgical interventions based on lesion characteristics. This case highlights the importance of considering neurocryptococcoma in the differential diagnosis for patients with neurological symptoms, even in those without apparent immune deficiency.
