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

In posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) triggered by scleroderma renal crisis (SRC), modulation and adherence in immunosuppressive therapy are key for avoiding recurrence, complications, and death. A patient with polymyositis (PM)/systemic sclerosis (SSc) overlap syndrome developed PRES triggered by SRC. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case with PRES associated with PM/SSc overlap syndrome. This manifested as altered mental status and headaches. Vasogenic edema was seen by magnetic resonance imaging in the brainstem and cerebral white matter. Antihypertension therapy resulted in improvement in both neurological symptoms and blood pressure (BP). Reversible clinical course and radiological change were consistent with PRES diagnosis. Here, the importance of BP maintenance and removal of precipitating factors of PRES is shown.
