Atypical presentation of leptospirosis as aseptic meningitis in an immunocompromised patient: Impact of rituximab on recovery and prolonged inflammatory response.
Article in IDCases, 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
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic spirochaetal infection with a broad clinical spectrum, ranging from mild anicteric illness to severe systemic disease. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement, particularly aseptic meningitis, is an underrecognized and diagnostically challenging manifestation, especially when isolated from systemic signs. We report a case of a 43-year-old male with a history of CNS demyelinating disease, treated with rituximab, who presented with a one-month history of recurrent fever, headache, and painful lower extremity nodules. He also experienced unintentional weight loss. After a thorough infectious workup, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, including broad-range PCR and the Karius test, confirmed the diagnosis of leptospirosis caused by
