Recurrent Anti-AMPA Receptor Limbic Encephalitis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor encephalitis is a relatively rare anti-neuronal surface antigen autoimmune encephalitis (LE). We described a case of a 47-year-old Chinese man having anti-AMPA receptor limbic encephalitis initially presented with cognitive decline, undetectable antibodies, and normal imaging findings in magnetic resonance image (MRI) and then developed into typical autoimmune limbic encephalitis a few months later with a course of multiple relapses. In addition, we found progressive brain atrophy in our case, which was a rare presentation of LE. This report also summarized the characteristics of nine reported cases of anti-AMPA receptor limbic encephalitis with relapse up to date. This case highlighted that autoimmune limbic encephalitis is an important differential diagnosis for patients with typical symptoms even when the MRI and antibodies are normal, and more attention should be paid to the relapse of anti-AMPA receptor encephalitis.
