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

Nonpolio enteroviruses are the most common cause of meningitis in children. We conducted a retrospective case series of long-term outcomes in 243 children between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2023 across 4 tertiary centers in London. Adverse outcomes were associated with the absence of fever at presentation (odds ratio [OR], 4.65; 95% CI, 1.03-20.83), the presence of seizures (OR, 7.40; 95% CI, 1.05-51.96), and the presence of comorbidities at baseline (OR, 5.27; 95% CI, 1.18-23.47). Full recovery was seen in 153 of 160 (95.6%) children who were <3 months of age. These data may help clinicians to counsel parents and policy makers on streamlining care pathways following hospital discharge.
