Enterococcus gallinarum group meningitis after transanal migration of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt: a pediatric case report.

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
In the literature, only 11 Enterococcus gallinarum group meningitis has been reported so far. The Enterococcus gallinarum group was shown for the first time in a pediatric patient presenting with meningitis after bowel perforation, a complication of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A 30-month-old male patient presented with vomiting and fever, with the ventriculoperitoneal shunt distal catheter protruding from the anal orifice. The patient was diagnosed with intestinal perforation and meningitis. Enterococcus gallinarum group bacterial yield in cerebrospinal fluid culture. A total of 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotic treatment was given in the hospital. After the treatment, the patient was re-ventriculoperitoneal shunt and was discharged. Among the shunt complications, meningitis with intestinal perforation is rare. It should be kept in mind that meningitis in such patients may be caused by very rare microbiological factors such as Enterococcus gallinarum group. Antibiotherapy should be given according to the culture result. Then planning should be made for a permanent shunt.
