Article in IDCases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Central nervous manifestations of bartonella infection are uncommon and can vary from encephalitis, meningitis, nerve palsy as well as ocular involvement. Most of these manifestations are described in immunocompromised individuals. We report a case of a previously healthy 42-year-old male who presented to the hospital with 4-weeks of fever and headache and found with meningeal signs on physical exam. He reported been scratched by a stray cat at work some days before his symptoms started. He remained febrile in the hospital. Initial work up was unrevealing, but CSF analysis showed pleocytosis, elevated protein and low CSF glucose- plasma glucose ratio consistent with CNS bacterial infection. Blood and CSF cultures were negative.
