Impact of cerebrospinal fluid syndromic testing in the management of children with suspected central nervous system infection.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the use of BioFire® FilmArray® meningitis/encephalitis(FA-ME) panel which enables rapid automated CSF testing for 14 common viral, bacterial, and yeast pathogens that cause CNS infections, in the management of children with suspected CNS infection. A prospective cohort study was performed on children admitted to a tertiary pediatric hospital, over a period of 1 year, with possible CNS infection and CSF pleocytosis (> 15 cells/mm
