Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in scrub typhus fever.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The clinical course of a 40-year-old female patient, who presented with acute febrile illness due to scrub typhus fever became complicated by seizures and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), leading to a fatal outcome. She had normal blood pressure at admission; however, she later developed hypotension and shock. PRES is a syndrome of vasogenic cerebral oedema and accompanying neurological deficits resulting from the breakdown of blood-brain barrier due to high blood pressure or radical blood pressure changes. PRES is a clinico-radiographic diagnosis of heterogeneous aetiologies and is rare in the context of infections. Although there are many neurological manifestations in scrub typhus, to the best of our knowledge, PRES has never been reported.
