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

Background: Case Description: Here, we present a unique case of multidrug-resistant AX-positive meningitis secondary to infection of a nonfunctional intrathecal narcotic pump. The patient has a complex past medical history leading up to infection, and care was significantly compromised by homelessness and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Treatment included catheter removal and antibiotics. Conclusion: Patients who suffer from homelessness or IBD show a possible increased risk of this infection. This case emphasizes the need for increased care regarding these patients, along with describing the complications and timeline when treating this rare type of meningitis.
