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

backgroundHypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare disorder characterized by diffuse thickening of the dura mater with resultant neurologic deficits. HP develops secondary to various conditions or idiopathically usually in adults but rarely in children. CASE REPORT: We describe a 3-year-old female child with idiopathic HP. Her HP involved the entire central nervous system with progression into the brainstem. The lesion responded poorly to pulsed steroids or any immunosuppressants. The brainstem lesion grew rapidly and formed various nodules that ultimately resulted in brain death. This is the first fatal case of HP in a child.
