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

introductionHerein, we report a genetically confirmed case of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease without characteristic subcortical hyperintensities on diffusion-weighted imaging. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with subacute onset of conscious disturbance. Except for gastric cancer, he had no apparent past medical or family history. He presented with transient fever, vomiting, and urinary retention. On admission, no apparent abnormal intensity was detected on diffusion-weighted imaging. The symptoms improved within 10 days, without any medical treatment. Additional inspections were performed under suspicion of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease. Intranuclear inclusions were found not only from skin biopsy but also from his stomach specimens, which had been resected 6 years previously. Subsequent genetic testing revealed repeat expansion of GGC amplification in NOTCH2NLC.

conclusionCharacteristic neuroimaging and skin biopsy findings are important clues for diagnosing neuronal intranuclear inclusion diseases. Nonetheless, confirming a diagnosis is difficult due to the diversity of clinical manifestations and radiological features. Clinicians should suspect neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease in patients with transient encephalitic episodes, even if no abnormalities are detected on diffusion-weighted imaging.
