Need for Swift Diagnosis of Primary Angiitis of Central Nervous System: A Case With Focal Motor Seizures of Hand Progressing to Aphasia.

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
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare disorder and difficult to diagnose. The time period from the presentation of the patient until a diagnosis can be protracted, which may result in further progression of the disease and poor patient outcomes. It has immensely varied symptomatology, further confounding swift diagnosis. We present a case of a 33-year-old male who had focal motor seizures with intact awareness of the right upper limb for three weeks prior to presenting to our hospital with acute right hemiparesis. One month into hospital admission, the patient developed complete motor aphasia while being investigated for the cause of multiple ischemic brain infarcts. The patient underwent immunosuppression along with plasmapheresis and pulse steroid therapy started prophylactically on suspicion of PACNS, which was subsequently confirmed by brain biopsy. Disease remission was achieved with rituximab.
