Chronic meningitis.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Chronic meningitis is a syndrome commonly defined by the presence of continuously persistent meningeal inflammation for at least 4 weeks. Presenting neurologic features are often nonspecific, and the list of differential diagnoses is broad. Despite the development of modern molecular diagnostic methods, establishing a specific cause may challenge the acumen of the treating neurologist with clues to the diagnosis residing outside the nervous system and requiring focused investigation. This review discusses selected etiologies illustrating issues in diagnosis and etiologic categories to be considered in the evaluation of this challenging syndrome.
