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

Background: In 2015, the term "SLIPPERS" was created to refer to a rare type of encephalomyelitis called CLIPPERS syndrome that affects the pons and sometimes other nearby structures, but in this case, it primarily affects the supratentorial region. This variation of the condition is responsive to treatment with steroids. Case Description: We report the case of a patient who presented with seizures and visual field deficit and had typical radiological and histopathological characteristics of SLIPPERS syndrome. Conclusion: Although the literature is inundated with CLIPPERS syndrome, its supratentorial variant is extremely rare. To our knowledge, this is fourth case of SLIPPERS syndrome to be reported in literature and serves to enhance clinicopathological understanding of this elusive entity.
