Neurologic Presentation of Probable Seronegative Paraneoplastic Encephalitis in a Woman With an Ovarian Teratoma.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
We describe a case of probable autoimmune encephalitis developed as a result of paraneoplastic syndrome in a woman with an ovarian teratoma. Patients may present with psychiatric and neurological symptoms, which are caused by anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (anti-NMDA) receptor antibodies produced in response to a teratoma that crosses the blood-brain barrier and damages brain tissue in the limbic area, causing encephalitis. Our patient presented with seizures, myoclonus, and memory problems. This is a relatively newly discovered and rare problem; however, it can be quite debilitating if left untreated. This diagnosis may be often missed due to the absence of highly sensitive tests. Autoimmune encephalitis has to be on the list of differential diagnoses for patients with new-onset psychiatric or neurological symptoms.
