A rare presentation of disseminated gonococcal infection with pleuritis and pericarditis: a case report and comprehensive review.
Review in BMC infectious diseases, 2026. 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
backgroundGonorrhoea is an infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is considered a significant public health problem. Asymptomatic infections are common, especially in women, and can lead to systemic dissemination. CASE PRESENTATION: We discuss a unique case of a 48-year old woman presenting with disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) complicated by pleural and pericardial effusions. Microbiological confirmation was obtained by N. gonorrhoeae polymerase chain reaction on pleural fluid. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous ceftriaxone and pleural drainage. We provide a comprehensive review of the literature on gonococcal pleuritis and pericarditis. Both are rare complications of (DGI), but the combination has never been described in literature.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of gonorrhoea and DGI to prevent severe complications. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not applicable.
