Case of steroid-responsive encephalopathy from hypoglycaemia.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hypoglycaemic encephalopathy is a feared complication in the management of patients with diabetes mellitus. We report on a 73-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes managed with an insulin pump who presented unresponsive after an inappropriate insulin bolus. The patient had minimal improvement in her neurological status over 8 days. After administration of 1 g intravenous methylprednisolone, she had dramatic neurological improvement including successful extubation and discharge from the intensive care unit. Steroid responsive encephalopathy is increasingly recognised in practice and literature. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of hypoglycaemic encephalopathy that responded to high-dose steroids.
