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

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a leading cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. In rare cases, HEV may generate neurologic lesions such as neuralgic amyotrophy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and meningoencephalitis. Thirteen cases of HEV meningoencephalitis have been reported over 20 years. The clinical landscape varied from mild symptoms to coma and seizures. Most of patients were immunocompetent adults and spontaneously recovered. We report here the case of a 44-year-old immunocompetent adult with HEV meningoencephalitis presenting with aggressiveness and then coma. The evolution was spontaneously favorable without any specific treatment. This clinical case aims to draw attention on this emerging and probably under-recognized cause of meningoencephalitis.
