Extended-spectrum Beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli Meningitis That Developed from Otitis Media with Cholesteatoma.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A 78-year-old man had a fever and exhibited disordered consciousness, which led to his transportation to our hospital. On arrival, he exhibited discharge from the ear. Because extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli was detected in the ear discharge and cerebrospinal fluid specimens, it was inferred to be the causal bacteria. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis indicated the same ESBL-producing E. coli pattern in the patient's ear discharge, external auditory canal granulation, cerebrospinal fluid, and stool, indicating their common molecular epidemiological origin. Although ESBL-producing E. coli is an extremely rare cause of bacterial meningitis, it should be considered as a potential causal bacteria for community-acquired meningitis.
