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

A 36-year-old pregnant woman with a prior history of depression and recent gunshot wounds presented with sudden deterioration in her mental status. Clinical examination revealed psychosis, hallucinations, and lack of orientation, with an otherwise normal neurological and cardiorespiratory examination. Computed tomographic scan of her head was normal, and she was diagnosed with acute psychosis and excited delirium. She did not respond to supraphysiologic dosages of antipsychotic therapy and needed physical restraints for combativeness and agitation. Her cerebrospinal fluid analysis was negative for an infectious etiology, but was positive for anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis antibodies. Abdominal imaging revealed a right-sided ovarian cyst. Subsequently she underwent right-sided oophorectomy. Postoperatively the patient continued to have intermittent episodes of agitation requiring antipsychotic medications. Later, she was safely transitioned to home care with family support.
