Simultaneous Presentation of Brainstem and Cerebellar Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome With Acute Cerebral Infarction.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and cerebral infarction are both caused by hypertension, but they rarely occur together. If they do coexist, the selection of a management strategy is difficult because of their pathologic differences. Here, we present an uncommon case of brainstem and cerebellar PRES combined with acute lacunar infarction. For this patient, we used an aggressive blood pressure-lowering regimen during the acute phase of his condition. Once the cerebral edema caused by PRES began to improve, antiplatelet therapy was initiated. The treatment was ultimately successful, and the patient was discharged home. A return to work is now planned. Given the rarity of this combination of conditions and a lack of published evidence for management, our report will contribute to the literature concerning the treatment for this combination of conditions.
