Healthcare-Associated Infections in the Neurocritical Care Unit.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purpose of reviewThis article summarizes updated data and knowledge on healthcare-associated infections in the neurocritical care unit, with a focus on central nervous system infections and systemic infectious complications in patients with acute brain disease. It also reviews the concept of brain injury-induced immune modulation, an underlying mechanism to explain why the neuro-ICU population is particularly susceptible to infections. RECENT
findingsHealthcare-associated infections in the neuro-ICU are common: up to 40 % of meningitides in the developed world are now healthcare-associated. The number of gram-negative infections is rising. New diagnostic approaches attempt to aid in the diagnosis of healthcare-associated meningitis and ventriculitis. Healthcare-associated infections in the neurocritical care unit remain a challenge for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Gaining a better understanding of at-risk patients and development of preventative strategies will be the goal for future investigation.
