1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Disseminated cryptococcosis, particularly cryptococcal meningitis, remains a severe fungal infection with high mortality in immunocompromised patients and usually requires prolonged azole therapy. In kidney transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus (TAC), careful management of drug-drug interactions via CYP3A is essential to maintain stable blood concentrations. We report the case of a 44-year-old man with a history of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis who had undergone a living-donor kidney transplant three years earlier. He was receiving immunosuppressive therapy with TAC, mycophenolate mofetil, and methylprednisolone. The patient developed cryptococcal meningitis and skin and soft tissue infection due to
