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

Background: Leptospirosis is a globally prevalent zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira species. The manifestation of leptospirosis can range widely, from being asymptomatic to causing severe multi-organ failure with a high mortality rate. It is uncommon for leptospirosis to present primarily with neurological complications. In this context, we discuss a notable case of Case presentation: In this study, we describe a primary case of neuroleptospirosis leading to symptomatic aseptic meningitis following exposure to Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering leptospirosis in differential diagnoses for aseptic meningitis, especially in individuals with occupational risks related to water or animal exposure. MetaCAP's extensive coverage, sensitivity, and early pathogen detection capabilities can significantly enhance patient outcomes.
