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

A 51-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis. Diffuse cerebral edema appeared after improvement of meningitis with appropriate treatment and worsened for two months. Due to brain herniation, brain tissue leaked through the incision made during the drain insertion in a hydrocephalus surgery. We found pathological evidence of significant neutrophil infiltration with a few lymphocytes without bacterial detection in the degraded brain tissue. The present case indicates that fatal cerebral edema with significant neutrophil infiltration may develop even after appropriate treatment for L. monocytogenes meningitis.
