Cutaneous cryptococcosis resembling keratoacanthoma.

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
Cutaneous cryptococcosis is a manifestation of systemic cryptococcal infection, characterized by polymorphic skin lesions that can make diagnosis challenging. We report an HIV-positive patient with a solitary facial nodule, initially diagnosed as keratoacanthoma. Histopathology, fungal culture, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis confirmed disseminated cryptococcosis with central nervous system involvement caused by Cryptococcus neoformans genotype VNI. He was treated with amphotericin B followed by fluconazole, resulting in complete clinical resolution. This case underscores the need to consider disseminated cryptococcosis in the differential diagnosis of tumorlike skin lesions, particularly in HIV-positive patients.
