Ten years on: Ongoing challenges in screening for cryptococcal antigenaemia in people with advanced HIV disease in South Africa.
Article in Southern African journal of HIV medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Screening for early asymptomatic cryptococcal antigenaemia is a crucial step in preventing symptomatic cryptococcal meningitis and reducing mortality among people with advanced HIV disease. However, even when early cryptococcal disease is detected, a significant number of people with advanced HIV disease still develop meningitis and die, suggesting barriers to care following a positive serum cryptococcal antigen result. Ten years after the initiation of a national screening programme in South Africa, we discuss progress and implementation challenges and highlight potential solutions identified through a clinical trial to reduce barriers to care for people with early cryptococcal disease. Analysing systems that care for individuals with early cryptococcal disease and creating interventions to optimise available resources are key steps in reducing HIV-associated cryptococcal disease mortality worldwide.
