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

Neural, metabolic, and myelosuppressive side effects can occur upon administration of linezolid (LNZ), which is an antibiotic that can cause seizures through multiple mechanisms. Here, we describe the case of a 77-year-old woman who initially presented with a subdural hematoma (SDH). She subsequently developed non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), a category of seizure that can occur secondary to antibiotic use. These episodes persisted despite being treated by multiple anti-epileptic medications, but resolved upon cessation of linezolid. This case is important because it highlights how the appropriate use of a drug can still cause a serious neurological side effect that can negatively impact patient outcomes.
