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

Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare and poorly understood pathology. In this case report we present a 51-year-old male that presented with neurological deficits with recent hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Imaging studies showed multiple punctate enhancing lesions involving the brainstem. After initiation of corticosteroids his symptoms improved, with a decrease in size of his lesions 6-months after his initial presentation. Due to its misdiagnosis, we propose the use of diagnostic criteria, described on this case report, for prompt treatment to avoid neurological sequelae.
