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

Leukoencephalopathy is progressive demyelination of the white matter, induced by a variety of factors. Among the causes of leukoencephalopathy, chemotherapy is an uncommon cause that generates potentially reversible lesions. The clinical presentation is classically made of alterations in mental status, hallucinations, hypertension, seizures, and acute visual changes. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of this entity, especially by conventional and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging which enables an accurate diagnosis by identifying symmetric white matter lesions, especially in the parietal and occipital lobes. Herein, we report a 54-year-old female patient, newly diagnosed with non-metastatic moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the cecum. The patient received her first cancer chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil at 300 mg/m
