Respiratory virus-related meningoencephalitis in adults.
Article in Encephalitis (Seoul, Korea), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: Respiratory viruses (RVs) are pathogens that can cause central nervous system (CNS) infection, but previous research has been limited to a pediatric population. In recent years, several cases of adult RV meningoencephalitis have begun to be reported. We decided to research the CNS infection of RV in the entire neuroinfection registry. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the neurologic infection registry of Seoul National University (Seoul, Korea). Among a total of 661 patients in the registry, 10 adult patients were diagnosed with RV-related meningoencephalitis on RV multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening test. We analyzed the clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and clinical course of the 10 patients. Results: Three patients were definite RV meningoencephalitis who had positive PCR results from cerebrospinal fluid. The other seven patients were diagnosed with probable RV meningoencephalitis if they had positive PCR results in the sputum and negative results in other extensive workup. Conclusion: RV-related meningoencephalitis should be considered a possible etiology in adult meningoencephalitis patients. To diagnose these viruses, screening test of RV PCR is recommended even in patients without upper respiratory infection symptoms.
