Recurrent meningococcal meningitis with complement 6 (C6) deficiency: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
rationaleLate complement deficiency increases susceptibility to meningococcal disease and recurrent infections. In Korea, 5 case reports have described meningococcal disease with complement deficiency. However, C6 deficiency has not been described previously. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 21-year-old police trainee presented with recurrent meningococcal meningitis. He was housed in communal living quarters until 20 days before the initial symptom onset. DIAGNOSIS: He was diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis with C6 deficiency.
interventionsHe was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone. An additional dose of quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine was administered after discharge. OUTCOMES: He was discharged without complications. LESSONS: Screening for complement deficiency is necessary in patients with a history of recurrent meningococcal infections to provide appropriate care and prevent recurrent infections.
