Rapid Diagnosis of Meningococcal Meningitis in a Patient With Familial Mediterranean Fever by the FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel: A Case Report.

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
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder of the innate immune system. Patients with innate immune system defects are at a high risk of meningococcal disease, although it is unclear if patients with FMF also have increased susceptibility to invasive infection. Herein, we present a diagnostically challenging case of a male adolescent with a past medical history of FMF stabilized on colchicine who presented with some of the early clinical features of community-acquired bacterial meningitis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of meningococcal meningitis in a patient with FMF diagnosed with the FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis (ME) Panel. This case report demonstrates that rapid detection of
