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

CLIPPERS (chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids) is a recently described chronic inflammatory disorder involving the brainstem with characteristic imaging findings. Since it was originally described in 2002, only a handful of cases have been reported in the literature. We describe two additional cases of CLIPPERS with characteristic clinical and radiological findings. Besides the previously described MR findings, one of the cases also demonstrated multiple basal ganglia lacunar infarcts, a finding which has not been previously reported. We hypothesize that the lacunar infarcts are caused by this chronic infiltrative perivascular disease process.
