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

This case report describes a 32-year-old female patient who developed acute pneumococcal meningitis following six-year chronic orbital inflammatory changes after strabismus corrective surgery. The patient experienced gradual deterioration of right-eye vision and recurrent retro-orbital headache; serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from 2021 to 2023 demonstrated diffuse intraconal retrobulbar abnormalities and extraocular-muscle thickening. She subsequently presented with high fever, generalized seizures and impaired consciousness. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) detected
