Escherichia coli Pyogenic Ventriculitis in an Infant Following Abdominal Surgery: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Pyogenic ventriculitis is a severe and uncommon bacterial infection of the brain's ventricular system, most often associated with neurosurgical procedures or trauma, but it can rarely occur in other clinical settings. This case report describes an unusual presentation in an eight-month-old infant with no prior medical history, who developed this condition following abdominal surgery for acute intussusception. After an initially uneventful postoperative course, the patient presented with persistent high fever, seizures, and neurological deterioration. Diagnostic imaging revealed triventricular hydrocephalus on computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the presence of pyogenic ventriculitis. Laboratory analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and blood cultures identified multidrug-resistant
