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

backgroundIdiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) is associated with various organ system dysfunctions. Neurologic abnormalities have been previously noted in this syndrome. Cerebral infarction secondary to occlusion of large cerebral artery is rarely reported. Here we described a patient with IHES presented progressive multiple cerebral infarctions caused by bilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old Chinese woman presented to our hospital with acute onset of right limbs weakness and slurred speech. Laboratory tests showed a significant eosinophilia of 5.29 × 10

conclusionsIHES is one of the rare causes of acute ischemic stroke with large cerebral artery occlusion. An early high-dose of corticosteroids therapy should be considered in cases of IHES patients. Our case study is benefit to clinical diagnosis and treatment of cerebral infarction with IHES.
