Case Report: Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome in Cerebral Malaria.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of falciparum malaria that occurs infrequently in adults. Here, we describe the case of a 21-year-old man who presented with fever and headache 13 days after returning from a 12-day trip to Kenya and was subsequently diagnosed with falciparum malaria. Complications of cerebral malaria developed within 1 day after the initiation of therapy with intravenous quinine, and the patient entered a deep coma. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed multiple vasoconstrictions in his brain. The resulting neurocognitive disorders that persisted after parasite clearance improved gradually, as confirmed by MRA, enabling the patient to perform activities of daily living upon discharge. In this case of cerebral malaria, the MRA findings indicated the involvement of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome.
