Bilateral optic neuritis with spine demyelination associated with influenza A H1N1 infection.

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
purposeTo report a rare case of optic neuritis with spine demyelination following H1N1 virus infection. OBSERVATION: A 66-year-old female presented with decreased vision in both eyes (left > right) following a recent episode of fever and flu. She was diagnosed as H1N1 infection confirmed by viral antigen analysis of throat swab. On examination, she had a profound vision drop in the left eye with optic disc edema. MRI brain and orbit revealed bilateral optic nerve and frontal dural thickening with a ring-enhancing lesion in the right frontal lobe. MRI spine showed long cord signals at T1-T7 suggestive of demyelination. The patient had a complete recovery of vision and visual fields after intravenous and oral steroids. CONCLUSION/IMPORTANCE: Influenza A virus can manifest with a wide range of symptoms including flu-like illness to neurological complications. This case highlights optic neuritis as a presenting feature of H1N1 infection.
