Little Children, Bigger Problems: Anti-N-Methyl D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis!
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Anti N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody positive autoimmune encephalitis is a well-described entity both in adults as well as in children. The authors report an 18-mo-old boy who presented with seizures, movement disorder, cognitive impairment, and behavioral disturbances. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis was confirmed by detection of NMDAR antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient was administered pulse corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin followed by further immunomodulatory therapy. No tumor was detected on screening. The child remained unresponsive to treatment. The authors wish to highlight the occurrence of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in young toddlers and the poor response to therapy often seen in very young children.
