Insidious meningitis induced by brucellosis: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
backgroundBrucellosis is a rare etiology for chronic neurological infections, posing a diagnostic challenge for patients due to the potential for atypical symptoms. CASE PRESENTATION: We are presenting a rare case report of Brucella meningitis. A 25-year-old unmarried Syrian female without any prior medical history presented with a progressive headache that had persisted for over 10 months, accompanied by nausea and vomiting that worsened when lying down. Initially, the diagnosis was attributed to idiopathic intracrainal hypertension due to the absence of systemic symptoms and an incorrect cerebrospinal fluid test. A comprehensive re-evaluation was performed, and Wright test was positive and Brucella antibodies were detected in both blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples. This ultimately confirmed the diagnosis of Brucella meningitis.
conclusionOur report emphasizes the importance of considering atypical bacteria as a cause for neuro-infection, and a wide investigation should be conducted to reach an accurate diagnosis and reevaluation of tests when necessary.
