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

backgroundNeuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is an unusual autosomal dominant, chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease. The clinical manifestations of NIID are complex and varied, complicating its clinical diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first to document sporadic adult-onset NIID mimicking acute cerebellitis (AC) that was finally diagnosed by imaging studies, skin biopsy, and genetic testing. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old man presented with fever, gait unsteadiness, dysarthria, and an episode of convulsion. His serum levels of white blood cells and C-reactive protein were significantly elevated. T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging and fluid attenuation inversion recovery sequences showed bilateral high-intensity signals in the medial part of the cerebellar hemisphere beside the vermis. While we initially considered a diagnosis of AC, the patient's symptoms improved significantly without special treatment, prompting our consideration of NIID. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed hyperintensity in the corticomedullary junction. Skin biopsy revealed eosinophilic inclusions positive for anti-p62 in epithelial sweat-gland cells. GGC repeat expansions in the Notch 2 N-terminal like C gene confirmed the diagnosis of NIID.

conclusionFor patients with clinical manifestations mimicking AC, the possibility of underlying NIID should be considered along with prompt rigorous examinations.
