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

We report 2 cases of probable neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM). In both cases, the patients presented paraplegia, as well as sensory, bladder, and rectal disturbances. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patient 1 showed continuous high signal intensity extending from the midbrain to the entire spinal cord in the central part of the cord on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI). Spinal MRI of patient 2 revealed high signal intensity extending from Th2 to Th10 in the central part of the cord on T2WI. Both patients received high-dose methylprednisolone. A continuous lesion from the midbrain to the entire spinal cord as in patient 1 has not been previously reported. Patient 2 dramatically improved by infliximab therapy. The present cases suggest that NBD should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with LETM.
