Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis: Two Case Reports and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by the measles virus. This study investigated the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in SSPE by retrospective review of two cases diagnosed by typical periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) features, clinical symptoms and elevated measles antibody titre in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). MRI revealed lesions of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images involving the periventricular or subcortical white matter in both the patients. Both these patients were given sodium valproate for seizures. However, the disease proved fatal in both these cases eventually.
