Amoxicillin-Induced Aseptic Meningitis.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2020. 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
Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic beta-lactam antibiotic that belongs to the penicillin family. It is the most prescribed antibiotic in the world. It has few side effects, even though hypersensitivity reactions may occur, with potential life-threatening effects. The authors present the case of a 63-year-old male admitted to the emergency department with a 2-week history of fever and occipital headache. The symptoms began after he started antibiotic prophylaxis with amoxicillin for a dental procedure. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was suggestive of aseptic meningitis and the patient improved quickly after discontinuation of the drug. The patient's previous medical history highlighted a similar episode after he had started taking amoxicillin as part of a scheme for the treatment of a LEARNING POINTS: Aseptic meningitis is a rare side effect of amoxicillin.It is a diagnosis of exclusion and establishing a chronological relationship between the administration of amoxicillin and the onset of clinical symptoms is a key element for the diagnosis.The physiopathology is not well defined, but the consensus is that it is most probably the result of an immunologic hypersensitivity reaction.
