1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Streptococcus salivarius is part of the normal oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract microflora and an unusual cause of acute bacterial meningitis. We herein report an 81-year-old man with S. salivarius meningitis, which led to a diagnosis of early esophageal cancer and early gastric cancer. S. salivarius infection may occur through the gastrointestinal mucosa when it is disrupted in association with early gastrointestinal cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing S. salivarius meningitis associated with multiple early gastrointestinal cancers in the absence of other sources of infection.
