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

Background: Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (IIDCNS) are infectious pathologies considered medical emergencies that can be fatal. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, supplemented by neuroimaging studies. It is extremely important to understand the behavior of these diseases over a study period. Objective: To describe the main epidemiological characteristics, frequency, and trends of IIDCNS of bacterial and viral origin during a 10-year period in a tertiary healthcare institution in Mexico City. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. Clinical records of IIDCNS from 2014 to 2024 were reviewed. Epidemiological variables were analyzed, the annual incidence of each infection type was calculated, and temporal trends throughout the study period were assessed. Results: A total of 332 cases of IIDCNS were identified; 52% were male, and 57% were from Mexico City. Infections of viral origin accounted for 62% of cases. The main viral agents isolated were Herpesvirus types 1 and 2 (51.2%), and of bacterial origin Staphilococcus aureus (22.8%). An increasing trend was found for bacterial and viral meningoencephalitis (p ≤ 0.05). The case fatality rate was 5%. Conclusions: The increase in IIDCNS is related to the socio-sanitary conditions of the country.
