A Case of Septic Encephalopathy Diagnosed Following Non-inflammatory Febrile Response in an Elderly Patient After Sepsis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intracranial disorders are common in cases of prolonged disturbances of consciousness following sepsis. Among these, investigation of vascular lesions is warranted because only a few patients have encephalitic symptoms. However, the examination may not be comprehensive owing to the lack of rapid changes in the clinical status. This report presents the case of an elderly woman with severe sepsis who experienced prolonged disturbances in consciousness and persistent fever. Lumbar puncture results suggested the possibility of post-sepsis encephalitis. Sepsis induces systemic acute inflammation and activates autoimmune responses, leading to prolonged brain inflammation in some cases. When disturbances in consciousness persist after sepsis, a thorough investigation for the possibility of post-septic encephalitis is imperative.
