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

Anti-Ma2 encephalitis is a rare form of autoimmune encephalitis that has classically been described as a paraneoplastic neurobehavioral disorder due to its association with underlying malignancies. We discuss the case of a 30-year-old female with an exceptionally aggressive presentation of anti-Ma2 encephalitis accompanied by Klüver-Bucy syndrome and hypothalamic dysfunction. Her course was complicated by repeated aspiration events secondary to severe hyperphagia and delays in immunosuppressive treatment due to concerns of infection. The patient's encephalitis was refractory to multiple immunosuppressive therapies and she ultimately expired before a primary malignancy could be detected and treated.
