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

Neurological or psychiatric side-effects can be seen with antimicrobial medications. A 66-year-old male patient with no known disease was brought to the emergency room due to a speech disorder and aggressive and unconscious behaviours following an initial dose of amoxicillin (1 gram orally). For treatment of the agitation without suppressing breathing, the patient was sedated with dexmedetomidine. After approximately 30 h of intensive care follow-up, the patient was discharged with complete recovery. This case emphasizes the importance of considering the effects of antibiotics in the differential diagnosis of delirium or acute psychosis cases.
