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

We report a case of tuberculous meningitis without pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a 27-year-old patient admitted for a meningeal syndrome with signs of basilar involvement and an infectious syndrome associated with a hacking cough with whitish sputum and night sweats, evolving for 15 days before her admission, in a context of weight loss of 2 kg, asthenia, and anorexia. Cytobacteriological and chemical analysis of the CSF revealed less than 3 cells/mm
