Multifocal Brain Abscesses Due to Streptococcus intermedius.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Brain abscess is a life-threatening illness that occurs when an intracerebral infection leads to cerebritis and subsequent pus formation within a well-vascularized capsule. While streptococci (aerobic, anaerobic, and microaerophilic) are the most common bacteria isolated, its presentation as multifocal brain abscesses is rarely described. In this report, we describe a 43-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department due to progressive lethargy and low-grade fever of seven days worsening. Upon further evaluation, the patient was found to have multiple brain abscesses secondary to
