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

Metronidazole is a common and widely used antibiotic to treat a wide range of infectious diseases and has been associated with serious neurologic disturbances which in some cases were irreversible. We present a metronidazole-induced encephalopathy in a 19-year-old girl after 7 days of metronidazole treatment, with diffusion restricted subcortical white matter lesions along with the corpus callosum involvements. Diverse clinical presentation of a serious neurologic disturbance caused by a common widely used antibiotic should be carefully addressed in the setting of both short- and long-term treatment.
