Recurrent Brain Abscess in a Child With Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 rare but life-threatening conditions associated with morbidity and mortality. They are encountered in unoperated and partially treated cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Our patient is a diagnosed case of transposition of great arteries with a ventricular septal defect. She had recurrent abscesses for which a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical excision was performed. Surgical excision carries a great risk of rupture of abscess into the ventricular system and is associated with poorer outcomes. The outcome of brain abscess primarily depends on Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) at the time of admission and ventricular extension of the abscess. Fortunately, our patient showed good results without any apparent neurological sequelae. Early diagnosis of the brain abscess and timely administration of antibiotics help in a good outcome.
