Recurrent benign lymphocytic (Mollaret's) meningitis due to herpes simplex virus type 2.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2022. 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
We present a rare case of Mollaret's meningitis in a young patient with seven prior episodes of recurrent meningitis. The patient presented with headache, fever, neck stiffness, nausea, and vomiting. Brain imaging revealed no acute abnormalities. Lumbar puncture revealed elevated nucleated cells with lymphocytic predominance. The patient was started on antimicrobials including acyclovir. Cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction was positive for herpes simplex virus type 2. Her 2-day hospital course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged in good condition. Mollaret's meningitis, also known as recurrent benign lymphocytic meningitis, is a rare clinical disorder characterized by at least three recurrent episodes of meningitis associated with spontaneous recovery with or without antiviral therapy. Herpes simplex virus type 2 has frequently been implicated in the setting of this illness.
