Unveiling the Hidden Culprit: A Case of a Temporal Lobe Abscess Presenting With Nonspecific Symptoms.
Article in Cureus, 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
A brain abscess is a potentially life-threatening condition in which a collection of pus forms in the brain tissue due to an infection. Mastoiditis and chronic otitis media are among the leading causes of brain abscesses; however, with modern advancements in imaging technology and antibiotic treatments, the incidence of such cases has significantly declined. This report describes a 72-year-old patient with no co-morbidities and a recent travel history presenting with respiratory symptoms, a short duration of ear symptoms, and confusion, who was subsequently diagnosed to have a temporal lobe abscess.
