Early plasma cell-free DNA diagnosis of fatal
Article in IDCases, 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
Background: Case: We report a 68-year-old woman who developed fever, seizures, and progressive encephalopathy 13 days after orthotopic liver transplantation. Brain MRI demonstrated multifocal supratentorial and infratentorial enhancing lesions with vasogenic edema and peripheral diffusion restriction. Initial CSF bacterial, viral, and fungal studies were negative. Plasma microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) sequencing identified Conclusion: Plasma mcfDNA provided rapid, noninvasive organism identification of an unsuspected free-living amoebic CNS infection and directed confirmatory testing and therapy. It should be considered an adjunct diagnostic tool rather than a replacement for CSF or tissue testing. Results require clinical correlation and confirmation with site-specific testing when feasible.
