Cerebral toxoplasmosis in a patient with multiple myeloma.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a rare complication of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) after autologous stem cell transplant (SCT). Imaging characteristics can be helpful in leading to rapid diagnosis and treatment. Case Description: A 76-year-old man with relapsed/refractory IgA kappa MM status post autologous SCT who presented to the hospital with altered mental status. His hospital course was complicated by rapid decompensation to obtundation requiring intubation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed numerous ring-enhancing lesions with eccentric target signs, which were concerning for cerebral toxoplasmosis. Diagnosis was confirmed with positive toxoplasma cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction test. Conclusion: Cerebral toxoplasmosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis for MM patients who present with altered mental status and neurologic findings. The ring-enhancing lesion with eccentric target sign on MRI can be helpful in the diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis.
