Neuro-leptospirosis - A batty diagnostic enigma.
Article in IDCases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Leptospirosis is an important, worldwide zoonotic, with a high incidence in warm-climate and tropical countries. Leptospirosis has a broad spectrum of manifestations, from a non-specific febrile illness to severe disease with multi-organ involvement. Transmission typically occurs following exposure to urine from infected animals, in particular domesticated animals such as rodents and cattle. Leptospira species have been identified in bats, however bat-human transmission is uncertain, and bat-associated leptospirosis in humans is seldom reported. We report a unique case of severe neuro-leptospirosis resulting from bat exposure with an unusual manifestation of a non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage, and the diagnostic challenges it presented.
