Salmonella Meningitis in a Young Infant: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Salmonella meningitis is a rare but severe form of bacterial meningitis. It is most frequently diagnosed in infants under one year of age, especially those under the age of three months, from emerging and underdeveloped countries and with a tropical climate. Salmonella meningitis has been associated with a high mortality rate, as well as a high risk of relapse and significant neurological complications such as cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments, and mental retardation. The treatment for Salmonella meningitis is challenging, and there is no consensus on the best approach. In this report, we describe a case of Salmonella meningitis in a 37-day-old girl exclusively formula-fed baby girl who was admitted for high fever, irritability, poor feeding, low activity, excessive crying for five days, and repeated seizures on the day of admission. The infant was treated with a four-week course of intravenous antibiotics. Given the severity of this infection and its potential long-term consequences, early diagnosis, and prompt treatment are crucial. However, this patient recovered without neurological disorders.
