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

We report a case of classic HSE with early neurological relapse 7 days after onset of acyclovir treatment secondary to cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). The development of CVT after meningoencephalitis has been described with neurotropic viruses such as HSV, HIV, or enteroviruses and also bacterial or fungal agents. CVT is probably the consequence of the inflammation secondary to these infections. A diagnosis of CVT, although rarely described, should be systematically suspected in patients with HSE who present no or only moderate improvement, or early relapse of symptoms despite adapted acyclovir treatment.
