Fatal Outcome due to Disseminated Cryptococcosis in a Patient With HIVrequiring Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Disseminated cryptococcosis is a severe, high-mortality opportunistic infection with systemic effects, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Case Presentation: Herein, we report a rare case of fulminant disseminated cryptococcosis in a 32-year-old male with undiagnosed advanced human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome who rapidly developed multi-organ failure, refractory shock, and cardiac arrest within 21 h of admission, necessitating veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Despite resuscitative efforts, the patient died on Day 6. Conclusion: This case highlights the accelerated progression of disseminated cryptococcosis in patients with profound immunosuppression and the unique autopsy findings of extensive myocardial cryptococcal infiltration and microemboli, suggesting a contribution to acute refractory shock.
