Campylobacter fetus meningitis in a diabetic adult cured by imipenem.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Reported here is the successful management of a severe case of Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus meningitis, complicated by septic shock, in a patient without overt immunosuppression who was cured by imipenem. Meningitis caused by C. fetus has rarely been reported in adults, and only exceptionally in non-immunocompromised patients, and septic shock has not previously been reported as a complication of such meningitis. The best antibiotic regimen for treating this condition remains to be determined. Imipenem has displayed high in vitro activity against C. fetus but has been used rarely in clinical practice. It was administered in this case with good results.
