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
We report on a 48 year old female patient who acquired a bacterial meningoencephalitis as a result of a cervical myelography. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed 309 cells per microliter and Streptococcus acidominimus was isolated as the infectious agent. Cranial MRI demonstrated disseminated lesions predominantly in the pontine and medullary brain stem as well as in thalamic nuclei. The patient developed a crossed central neuropathic pain syndrome. Neurological examination showed mechanic allodynia and hyperpathy along the left-sided extremities as well as right-sided neuropathic facial pain. On the MRI a dorsolateral medullary lesion on the right side, in the territory of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery was found. The localization of the lesion is suggestive of involvement of the spinal trigeminal tract or nucleus and the spinothalamic tract that would explain the neuropathic pain syndrome.A combination of gabapentine and amitriptyline reduced the pain markedly whereas opioids failed to provide sufficient analgesia.
