Disseminated cryptococcosis in an immunocompetent farmer: A rare case report.
Article in IDCases, 2025. 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
Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection commonly occurring amongst immunocompromised individuals. However, in rare cases it can affect immunocompetent individuals particularly those with exposure to fungal reservoirs in environment. We report a 32-year-old immunocompetent male farmer who was diagnosed with disseminated cryptococcosis. He initially presented with prolonged cough, exertional dyspnoea and weight loss and later developed nodulo-ulcerative skin lesion and central nervous system cryptococcomas. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and cryptococcal antigen testing. He was treated with liposomal amphotericin B and flucytosine, followed by maintenance fluconazole therapy. This case-report highlights the importance of keeping a high index of suspicion for disseminated cryptococcosis even in immunocompetent individuals.
