Localized Subarachnoid Purulence Mimicking Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Case Report.
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
Subarachnoid purulence is generally formed secondary to the rupture of brain abscesses. Early diagnosis of subarachnoid purulence unrelated to brain abscesses is challenging because of the lack of specific neurological or radiological findings. In this article, we report a case of localized subarachnoid purulence mimicking aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A 74-year-old woman with diabetes and a history of rhinosinusitis presented with a sudden deterioration of the level of consciousness, tonic posture, and fever. A head computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a high-density area in the left Sylvian fissure. Subsequent CT angiography revealed an ipsilateral posterior communicating artery aneurysm, suggesting a diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Craniotomy for surgical clipping of the presumed ruptured aneurysm revealed a subarachnoid purulence rather than a clot. Antimicrobial agents were administered, and endoscopic sinus surgery was performed to control the infection. Histopathological and microbiological examinations of the sphenoid sinusitis and intracranial specimen revealed
