Rehabilitation of a patient with overlap of acute transverse myelitis and Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis: a case report.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
We report on one patient with Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis (BBE) and associated flaccid weakness. Counter to previous studies with BBE which indicate weakness due to Guillain-Barre syndrome, our patient's presentation of paraplegia following BBE is consistent with concomitant acute transverse myelitis. Her findings of BBE largely resolved, although she remained with T6 American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) A paraplegia. Motor functional impairment measure scores improved from 20 at admission to 66 before discharge home with assistance. This case presents the first potential overlapping case of acute transverse myelitis with BBE and describes how acute inpatient rehabilitation can be effective in facilitating transition back to independence following tetraplegia with BBE.
