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

Meningitis after resection of a cerebral alveolar hydatid cyst (CAHC) is rare. Although several etiologies are proposed for meningitis, including recurrence or inflammatory reaction to dead echinococcal antigens, the effectiveness of treatment strategies specifically targeting the inflammatory reaction has not been reported. A 72-year-old patient presented with a brain cyst suggestive of CAHC. The cyst ruptured during resection, which was immediately replaced with 95% ethanol to obliterate the viable larvae, followed by cyst removal. One-month post-surgery, the patient showed signs of meningitis suggestive of a recurrence of cerebral hydatidosis. However, the negative sign of the recurrence on the brain and whole spine MRI suggested an inflammatory reaction to the obliterated
