[Septic encephalopathy].
Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Septic encephalopathy describes a diffuse cerebral dysfunction in association with sepsis. It is the most common cause of altered brain function in the intensive care unit setting but other causes have to be excluded. Alterations in the level of consciousness occur early and are common. Epileptic seizures may occur but asymmetric neurological findings are not typical. The pathophysiology of septic encephalopathy is diverse and not fully elucidated; however, perfusion abnormalities play an important role. Neuropathological findings are diffuse, widespread and often show features of ischemia and non-bacterial inflammation. Diagnostic procedures should exclude frequent differential diagnoses, such as stroke, meningitis or encephalitis. Cerebral computed tomography (CT) is usually unremarkable but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may reveal vasogenic edema in terms of a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Septic encephalopathy requires an adequate therapy of the sepsis syndrome but a specific therapy is not yet available.
