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

backgroundBacterial meningitis is a central nervous system (CNS) infection disease of the meninges and brain parenchyma caused by the bacteria. Few cases of meningitis related to oral anaerobes have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of meningitis in a middle-aged woman, caused by oral anaerobes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with fever, headache for 21 days and left limb weakness for 2 days. The blood cell counts (11.73 × 10

conclusionWe herein report a rare case involving meningitis caused by infection of oral anaerobes. The mNGS can accurately detect the pathogens of infectious diseases.
