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
A 55-year-old male patient presented with bilateral blurred vision. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia was generally known in the medical history, which was treated by immunochemotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab. Static perimetry revealed a homonymous hemianopia to the left. The neurological examination was otherwise unremarkable. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) was diagnosed by cranial magnetic resonance imaging and detection of JC virus DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid. The PML is a rare demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by reactivation of the JC virus. It affects patients with HIV, malignant hematological diseases and immunomodulatory therapy. A specific, antiviral treatment does not yet exist. The prognosis of PML is therefore poor. After a progressive course of the disease the patient died 4 months after the diagnosis.
