Cerebral infarction in bacterial meningitis: predictive factors and outcome.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
In this study, we analysed the frequency, morphological patterns and clinical characteristics of cerebral ischaemia in bacterial meningitis. We sought to determine predictors for the development of vasculopathy and ischaemic infarction in patients with bacterial meningitis. Consecutive adult patients admitted between March 1998 and February 2009 to a neurological intensive care unit at a university hospital in Germany with the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis were included in the study. Standard criteria were used to define bacterial meningitis. From 68 patients with bacterial meningitis, six patients suffered from cerebral ischaemia (8.8%). In our cohort, reduced level of consciousness on admission (p = 0.01) and lower white blood cell (WBC) count in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (p = 0.012) were associated with development of ischaemic cerebrovascular complications. The short-term outcome of all patients was poor (median modified Rankin scale 4.5). In patients presenting with reduced level of consciousness on admission and/or low WBC count in CSF early cerebral imaging including MR angiography or CT angiography are warranted to detect impending cerebrovascular complications.
