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

purpose of reviewOwing to vaccine hesitancy, there has been a resurgence of measles infections in developed countries. Practitioners can expect to see an increase in patients with neurologic complications of measles. These devastating disorders include primary measles encephalitis, acute post measles encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), and measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE). RECENT

findingsAlthough there are many unanswered questions regarding the neurologic complications of measles, recent advances have led to better understanding of the mechanism of the spread of measles within the nervous system, particularly the disruption of F protein function, which raises the possibility of treatment with fusion-inhibiting molecules. Measles and its neurological complications are preventable and must be prevented. Neurologists must educate other clinicians and the public regarding the consequences of inadequate herd immunity to measles. More effective treatments for SSPE and MIBE may be available in the near future, but currently these remain lethal diseases.
