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

Nontuberculous mycobacteria associated intracranial infection is a rare disease that mainly occurs in HIV-infected patients. The disease has a poor prognosis. The authors report a case of non-tuberculous mycobacterial meningoencephalitis in a non-AIDS patient, but long history of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus. A 55-year-old, right-handed, male patient presented with an 8-day history of fever, episodes of severe headache with signs of meningeal irritation. MRI showed hyperintensities/contrast enhancement in the visual pathways, basal ganglia sellar region and leptomeninges. No etiological diagnosis was reached until metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was used, showing the presence of
