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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare and severe neurotoxic encephalopathic state characterized by variable neurologic manifestations ranging from headache and confusion to seizures, coma, and reversible subcortical vasogenic edema on imaging. PRES is commonly induced by chronic renal failure, hypertension, chemotherapeutic drugs, and eclampsia. PRES induced by hypercalcemia is uncommon and not widely underlined in the literature. We underline a case of a 61-year-old female diagnosed with advanced breast carcinoma presented with altered sensorium and generalized limb weakness. She was found to have malignant hypercalcemia, and brain imaging demonstrated subcortical vasogenic edema in the occipital and frontal lobe, suggestive of PRES. Her condition gradually improved after the treatment of hypercalcemia.
