A Headache and an Abscess: A Case of Cerebral Toxoplasmosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a rare cause of brain abscesses, but it occurs more commonly in immunocompromised individuals. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can minimize associated neurologic mortality. When a patient presents with vague symptoms, it is important to continue gathering the patient's medical history and perform a thorough workup. This report describes a case of a 51-year-old Haitian woman who presented with seizure-like activity. Brain imaging revealed ring-enhancing lesions, leading to a new diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as the cause of her immunocompromised state. Her care necessitated an interpreter, as well as a multidisciplinary team of specialists to diagnose, treat, and provide the best care.
