Favourable Outcome in a 33-Year-Old Female with Acute Haemorrhagic Leukoencephalitis.
Article in Case reports in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAcute haemorrhagic leukoencephalitis (AHLE) is a rare and rapidly fatal disease of unknown aetiology. There is a paucity of literature on the presentation and management of this rare disease. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report the case of a 33-year-old female presenting with headache and left-sided apraxia. Imaging revealed a right-sided white matter lesion with extensive cytotoxic oedema. Pathology was suggestive of AHLE. She underwent an open excisional biopsy and was treated with high-dose corticosteroids. Three months since symptom onset she remains clinically well with resolving apraxia and radiological appearance.
conclusionThis case may represent a milder spectrum of AHLE, which responded favourably to corticosteroids.
