Challenges and Strategies in Managing Naegleria fowleri-Associated Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis in Pakistan: A Case Report.
Article in Acta parasitologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNaegleria fowleri, a thermophilic, free-living amoeba, is the causative agent of Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare but highly fatal infection. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report highlights a 31-year-old physical trainer from Ichhra, Lahore, who presented with symptoms of headache, fever, and altered behavior, ultimately diagnosed with Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM) based on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) wet mount microscopy findings, with domestic water suspected as the probable source due to the absence of recreational water exposure.
conclusionThe case underscores the urgent need for early diagnosis and intervention to combat the rising mortality rates associated with this deadly infection. The impact of factors such as rising temperatures and compromised water systems on the spread of Naegleria fowleri in Pakistan is discussed, emphasizing the importance of public health measures to prevent further cases.
