Antibody-Negative Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis, Parkinsonism, Hypothermia, and Narcolepsy Associated with Endometrial Carcinoma.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWe describe the clinical and neuropathological features of a patient with T-cell-mediated paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis, parkinsonism, hypothermia, and narcolepsy-like presentation associated with endometrial carcinoma.
objectivesThis patient with prominent parkinsonism and narcolepsy broadens the phenotype of known paraneoplastic syndromes and demonstrates the importance of investigation for occult malignancy even in the absence of paraneoplastic antibodies.
methodsThis is a case report with diagnosis confirmed at postmortem.
resultsParaneoplastic antibodies were not detected. The initial improvement with immunosuppression was short lived, and postmortem neuropathological examination demonstrated encephalitis with predominant T-cell infiltration affecting the hypothalamus and extending to the brainstem, suggestive of a paraneoplastic syndrome.
conclusionsAlthough the possibility of a novel antibody cannot be ruled out, consideration must also be given to recent demonstration of purely T-cell-mediated neuronal destruction in the context of paraneoplastic syndromes.
