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

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic infection caused by Bartonella henselae typically resulting in self-limited regional lymphadenopathy. Encephalitis is a complication with a supposedly benign prognosis, but we encountered an exceptional case. A 19-year-old Japanese woman presented with status epilepticus. She was diagnosed with CSD-associated encephalitis based on her history of contact with a kitten and a high titre of serum IgG to B. henselae. Multimodal treatment ameliorated her encephalitis, but neurological sequelae including spastic paraparesis, persisted. After several months, she developed age-disproportionate parkinsonism inconsistent with a neurodegenerative disease. In conclusion, CSD-associated encephalitis can result in severe neurological sequelae and post-encephalitic parkinsonism.
