Meningitis Due to Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A young adult male presented as a case of meningitis in the background of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in situ, uncontrolled type 1 diabetes and a history of treated abdominal tuberculosis. The patient presented with complaints of high-grade fever, non-projectile vomiting, headache and drowsiness. He was eventually diagnosed as a case of fungal meningitis. The patient's cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF) analysis revealed budding yeast cells and the culture revealed Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans. This is a yeast-like fungus that is known to cause opportunistic infections in an immunocompromised host. This is a rare cause of fungal meningitis and very few cases have been reported worldwide. This is the first case of Apiotrichum mycotoxinivorans-associated meningitis reported from India.
