Disseminated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infection Masquerading as Community-Acquired Meningitis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) causes a wide spectrum of infections ranging from simple cutaneous infections to serious invasive infections, including endocarditis and central nervous system (CNS) infections. Multi-site involvement is not infrequently encountered with MRSA infections. Herein, we present a case of complicated MRSA bacteremia presenting as community-onset meningoencephalitis. A 45-year-old man presented to the emergency department with fever, altered sensorium, and disorientation after receiving diclofenac intramuscular injections. He was diagnosed with meningitis due to MRSA. He was treated with vancomycin and rifampicin. He reported significant low back pain, and lumbaosacral spine MRI showed spondylodiscitis. Moreover, the patient developed right shoulder pain and reduction of movement; a shoulder ultrasound revealed mild joint effusion. As he continued to spike and developed the shoulder pain while on vancomycin/rifampicin, IV linezolid was commenced. As a result, the patient's condition improved and was discharged on oral linezolid followed by cotrimoxazole.
