Unusual cutaneous manifestations of disseminated Cryptococcus gattii infection in an immunocompetent host.

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
We report a rare case of disseminated Cryptococcus gattii species complex (CGSC) infection in a 51-year-old immunocompetent man who initially had extensive ulcerated skin nodules, an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of cryptococcosis. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) revealed hypermetabolic lesions in the skin and lungs, while brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated multiple cryptococcomas with mass effect. The diagnosis was confirmed by skin and lung biopsies and a positive serum cryptococcal antigen test. Induction therapy with lipid complex amphotericin B, flucytosine, and corticosteroids was initiated. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical cutaneous lesions as potential indicators of disseminated CGSC infection in immunocompetent individuals, and underscores the need for early antifungal management.
