Fulminant campylobacter jejuni bacteremia complicating steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome in a pediatric patient: a case report.
Article 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
backgroundCampylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) usually causes mild diarrhea but can rarely enter the bloodstream and cause severe infection. Children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) are more likely to get serious infections because of immune weakness from protein loss and steroid use. CASE PRESENTATION: A 7-year-old boy with steroid-dependent NS came to the hospital with fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. He quickly developed septic shock and was treated in the intensive care unit. jejuni was isolated from the blood culture, which was resistant to fluoroquinolones but sensitive to macrolides. After switching to azithromycin and adjusting his steroid therapy, the patient showed rapid improvement and made a full recovery.
conclusionThis case shows that C. jejuni can cause dangerous infections in children with NS. Clinicians should keep C. jejuni in mind when treating nephrotic children with sepsis and diarrhea, ensuring timely culture testing and targeted antibiotic treatment to avoid severe outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
