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 agalactiae is a rare cause of meningitis in healthy adults. We herein report a case of culture-negative Streptococcus agalactiae meningitis in a healthy adult which was diagnosed using the FilmArray Meningitis and Encephalitis Panel. A healthy 22-year-old man presented with a fever, headache, and neck stiffness. Despite negative results from blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures, the diagnosis was confirmed using the FilmArray Meningitis and Encephalitis Panel. The patient was treated with dexamethasone, vancomycin, and ceftriaxone, and thereafter recovered completely. This report highlights the importance of being aware that Streptococcus agalactiae meningitis can occur in healthy individuals, and summarizes these features.
