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

Lyme neuroborreliosis is diagnostically challenging because of its diverse manifestations. Literatures studies have documented a neurological spectrum that includes radiculoneuritis, lymphocytic meningitis, and cranial neuropathy in the early disseminated stage of Lyme's disease. Severe and refractory hyponatremia is a rare association with Lyme neuroborreliosis, further misleading clinicians to misdiagnose the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). This case report describes a 58-year-old woman who developed progressive lower extremity weakness and paresthesia, cerebellar ataxia, and persistent hyponatremia. The patient was hospitalized to rule out cerebral vascular stroke, Guillain-Barre, and SIADH. Lyme neuroborreliosis was diagnosed and treated with 2mg ceftriaxone from clinical suspicion. With treatment initiation, the patient's neurological symptoms of gait instability, hyponatremia, and bilateral lower extremities weakness gradually resolved.
