1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Central nervous system melioidosis is an uncommon presentation of melioidosis infection. We report a case of a disseminated melioidosis infection with central nervous system, pulmonary, spleen, bone and cutaneous involvement in a patient with underlying systemic lupus erythematous. The diagnosis was confirmed based on positive blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures coupled with radiological findings. Agriculture contact and underlying immunocompromised state were the predisposing risk factors for melioidosis infection in this case. Our patient was successfully treated with 10 weeks of intensive antibiotics therapy and 1 year of eradication antibiotics therapy with significant clinical and radiological improvement.
