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

Cryptogenic new-onset refractory status epilepticus (C-NORSE) is a neurologic emergency condition characterized by refractory status epilepticus (RSE) of unknown cause. Brain atrophy in a setting of C-NORSE is usually irreversible. A 33-year-old woman who was highly suspected of C-NORSE once showed mild frontotemporal atrophy on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but follow-up MRI revealed recovery of the brain atrophy. Her cognitive function also gradually improved, with a reduction in seizure frequency. Early initiation of intensive immunotherapy with anti-seizure medications may have minimized irreversible brain damage associated with RSE, resulting in a relatively good outcome.
