Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Brain abscesses are collections of infectious fluid within the brain parenchyma, with mortality ranging from 15% to 31%. They can result from direct inoculation or via hematogenous spread. Streptococcus and staphylococcus species and Gram-negative bacilli are common bacteria responsible for brain abscesses. In immunocompromised patients, such as those with organ transplants or HIV, brain abscesses can be caused by fungi, mycobacteria, or parasites. Lactobacillus is a very rare cause of brain abscess and has only been observed in a few case reports. We report a case of a woman with uncontrolled diabetes who presented with altered mental status and was found to have a brain abscess secondary to
