Adjunctive dexamethasone treatment in adults with listeria monocytogenes meningitis: a prospective nationwide cohort study.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Background: A French cohort study described a detrimental effect of adjunctive dexamethasone treatment in listeria meningitis. Based on these results guidelines recommend not to use dexamethasone if Methods: We prospectively assessed adults with community-acquired Findings: 162 out of 2664 episodes (6%) of community-acquired bacterial meningitis episode were caused by Interpretation: Adjunctive dexamethasone is associated with an improved outcome in patients with Funding: European Research Council and Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development.
