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

Introduction: Invasive listeriosis most often presents as bacteremia or neurolisteriosis. Cerebral infection mostly manifests as meningitis or meningoencephalitis, but cerebral abscesses are a rare manifestation. Case presentation: We present the rare case of a 51-year old patient with progressive right sided hemiparesis caused by a cerebral abscess due to Discussion: For the treatment of bacterial brain abscesses, 4-6 weeks of intravenous antimicrobial treatment after surgical drainage are recommended. However, first line therapy of invasive cerebral listeriosis is not well established. We decided to use a combined treatment using ampicillin and gentamicin, followed by prolonged oral treatment due to ongoing tissue inflammation. Conclusion: No evidence-based treatment recommendations are available for brain abscess caused by
