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

Listeria infections are uncommon in our clinical practice and often overlooked as a differential diagnosis. It is also difficult to uncover due to presentation with a variety of non-specific clinical signs and symptoms, that could mimic other conditions. In our case report, we discuss a rare and challenging case of a middle-aged alcoholic man with Listeriosis affecting the rhombencephalon. He presented with non-specific symptoms, including agitation and confusion, preceded by flu-like illness. These were accompanied by seizures and fever in hospital, as well as intermittently changing neurological deficits. Although his symptoms were put down to alcohol withdrawal initially, the timely identification of
