Neuropsychiatric lupus with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: a rare presentation.

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
Systemic lupus erythematosus presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSLE) along with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is rare. A young woman of 29 years presented with various neuropsychiatric symptoms along with low-grade fever, occasional headache, skin rash, arthralgias and gradually became non-ambulatory over last 6 months. After admission, she had an episode of generalised tonic-clonic seizure, followed by drowsiness. She was normotensive. Investigations revealed no evidence of any underlying infection, normal renal functions and electrolytes; but other parameters were supportive to a diagnosis of NPSLE. MRI brain showed vasogenic oedema characterised by symmetrical hyperintensities over posterior brain regions in T2 and fluid attenuated inversion recovery images with no restricted diffusion in diffusion weighted image suggestive of PRES. A diagnosis of NPSLE presenting with PRES, particularly in the absence of hypertension and abnormal renal functions was made, which is a rare presentation. She responded well to immunomodulatory therapy with methylprednisolone and monthly cyclophosphamide.
