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

Rhomboencephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition due to inflammation of the hindbrain with an unpredictable outcome depending on the wide spectrum of etiologies and the promptness of diagnosis and treatment. A 23-month-old Caucasian male presented with fever, clouding of consciousness, and trunk ataxia. Three weeks earlier he received active immunization against varicella-zoster virus. Routine laboratory tests were unremarkable. Cerebrospinal fluid showed might elevation of leukocytes. The infection panel was negative. Brain magnetic resonance showed signal hyperintensity in the dorsal portion of the pons, which was consistent with a rhomboencephalitis. Autoimmune pathogenesis was supposed and a high dose of steroids was started. The patient's neurologic status progressively improved till full recovery and complete regression of previous magnetic resonance lesions after 1 year. Nevertheless, longer follow-up is needed in order not to miss any possible signs of an underlying autoimmune neurologic disorder.
