Fatal granulomatous amoebic encephalitis due to Acanthamoeba sp. with bacterial co-infection in an immunocompetent critically ill patient: A case report and review of the literature.

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
Introduction: Free-living amoebae are common, ubiquitous environmental saprophytic protozoa that can cause granulomatous encephalitis and other serious neurological infections. Despite being uncommon, these infections primarily affect immunocompromised patients and have a poor prognosis if treatment and diagnosis are delayed. Case presentation: We describe the case of a 48-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital due to convulsions linked to a persistent fever, right-sided motor deficit, and consciousness issues. She had no prior medical history. An MRI of the brain showed nodular granulomatous lesions. Microorganisms and cystic formations suggestive of an Conclusion: Central nervous system infections caused by free-living amoebae are rare and serious; preventive measures can reduce the incidence of these infections.
