Evidence for intraaxonal spread of Listeria monocytogenes from the periphery to the central nervous system.
Article in Brain pathology (Zurich, Switzerland), 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Rhombencephalitis due to Listeria monocytogenes is characterized by progressive cranial nerve palsies and subacute inflammation in the brain stem. In this paper, we report observations made on mice infected with L. monocytogenes. Unilateral inoculation of bacteria into facial muscle, or peripheral parts of a cranial nerve, induced clinical and histological signs of mainly ipsilateral rhombencephalitis. Similarly, unilateral inoculation of bacteria into lower leg muscle or peripheral parts of sciatic nerve was followed by lumbar myelitis. In these animals, intraaxonal bacteria were seen in the sciatic nerve and its corresponding nerve roots ipsilateral to the bacterial application site. Development of myelitis was prevented by transsection of the sciatic nerve proximally to the hindleg inoculation site. Altogether, our results support the hypothesis that Listeria rhombencephalitis is caused by intraaxonal bacterial spread from peripheral sites to the central nervous system.
