Chemotherapy and Immunosuppressant Therapy-Induced Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome.
Review 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
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an entity which is characterized by acute to subacute onset of neurological symptoms like altered mental status, seizures, headaches and other focal neurological deficits. It is diagnosed with the help of MRI findings which typically involve the subcortical white matter of parieto-occipital lobes. In this review, we will discuss the various etiologies and risk factors including some of the most common chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressant agents associated with this disorder. We will discuss the mechanism of actions and side effect profiles of a few drugs and their role in causation of PRES. This review article discusses if there is any difference in presentation and imaging findings of PRES caused by cytotoxic agents versus caused by other etiologies. It also highlights the difficulty in management of PRES caused by cytotoxic agents as the discontinuation of these drugs could be life-threatening due to graft rejections or graft versus host disease.
