1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cerebral abscess is an infection of the central nervous system that can cause a variety of neurologic signs. The majority of infections are caused by distant haematogenous spread, neurotrauma, surgery, or contiguous infections. Another rare source of a brain abscess is a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). Late diagnosis and neurological complications associated with brain abscesses can cause significant morbidity or even mortality. We present the case of a 75-year-old Caucasian male with complaints of subfebrillitas, headache, and difficulty in estimating distances. A diagnosis of brain abscess was made. The abscess was drained, and ceftriaxone plus metronidazole was initiated. After the cultures were positive for
