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

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a common opportunistic infection that causes expansive brain lesions in people living with HIV/AIDS. But it is extremely rarely associated with HIV negative patients. This study presents a case of a 23-year-old male with non HIV-relative cerebral toxoplasmosis. There was an acute onset of the disease. The first symptoms included fever and signs of meningoradicular irritation. Neurological abnormalities progressed in cranial nerves disorders and pyramidal syndrome. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) changes were consistent with those of viral meningoencephalitis. CT and MRI showed multiple ring-enhancing lesions with high-intensity signals in cerebrum brain stem and cerebellum. The tests for HIV (ELISA and Western blot) were negative. Serological detection of
