Case Report: Prolonged CSF PCR Positivity in a Neonate With GBS Meningitis.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bacterial meningitis is one of the critical diseases that needs to be diagnosed and treated promptly. Recent diagnostics of high sensitivity and specificity rates, such as PCR, helped with such presentation, especially in cases with prior antibiotics that led to culture negativity. However, the time window of PCR positivity is not well-studied, with scattered reports of different periods of positivity. Here, we report a case of neonatal GBS meningitis with positive PCR for more than 80 days from starting antibiotics.
