Case of recurrent cerebral haemorrhage in an older adult man who uses dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for self-management of low mood and pain.

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
We present the case of a man in his 70s who had suffered two separate frontal lobe haemorrhages in the context of using dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to manage his low mood. The known pathophysiology of DMSO renders it a likely causative agent of the recurrent intracerebral haemorrhages. This case highlights the need for clinicians to robustly enquire about a patient's use of over-the-counter medications, of non-prescribed supplements and other substances, as part of the history. In addition, the case highlights the potential for highly debilitating adverse effects from using DMSO.
