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

Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) can be caused by various neuronal surface and intracellular antibodies. The prevalence and gender predisposition vary according to the subtype involved. It can produce a wide range of neurologic or psychiatric symptoms. We present a case of a young female patient who presented to a psychiatric facility with behavioral and perceptual disturbances and was later referred to a medical department, where, through a series of investigations, she was diagnosed as a case of AIE. Unfortunately, the ultimate outcome was death due to a delay in reaching toward accurate diagnosis. This case report highlights the lapse of the healthcare system, particularly in low- and middle-income countries at multiple levels in providing adequate health care.
