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

Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE) is one of the most potentially fatal infectious disease that should be detected as early as possible. The combination of clinical history and examination, brain computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture have been used to establish a diagnosis. The authors present a case of HSVE with normal CSF analysis, but typical MRI findings consistent with HSE and CSF PCR positive for Herpes simplex virus1 DNA, who responded to Acyclovir therapy with complete recovery.
