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

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that usually affects children and young adults. It most commonly has a monophasic course, although relapses are reported. Clinical presentation of the disease includes encephalopathy and multifocal neurological deficits. There are no established reliable criteria for diagnosis of ADEM and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish it from first attack of multiple sclerosis, especially in adults. The diagnosis of ADEM is based on clinical, radiological and laboratory findings. In the treatment of ADEM, high doses of corticosteroids, plasmapheresis and immunoglobulins are used. We report a case of a young adult female patient with ADEM who fully recovered after prompt administration of high dose methylprednisolone and immunoglobulins.
