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.

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.

Abstract

Susac syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune microangiopathy that affects the brain, retina, and inner ear, causing a wide range of clinical manifestations. The triad of encephalopathy, visual disturbances, and hearing loss constitute the classic disease presentation. We describe an original clinical case of a young male with a definitive diagnosis of SS, who presented with disordered behavior and amnesia, initially manifested as a dissociative or anxiety disorder but with a fulminant evolution toward severe encephalopathy associated with retinal infarcts and sensorineural hearing loss. After the diagnosis of SS, aggressive immunosuppressive treatment was started with significant neurological improvement and favorable evolution during the follow-up period. SS is a rare but potentially devastating disease that can cause great disability if not properly diagnosed and treated. The onset of SS with behavioral or psychiatric manifestation can be misleading, causing a diagnostic delay.
