Cerebellar, hippocampal, and basal nuclei transient edema with restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome in the setting of opioid and phencyclidine use.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Cerebellar, hippocampal, and basal nuclei transient edema with restricted diffusion (CHANTER) syndrome is a constellation of specific imaging findings characterized by cytotoxic edema in the bilateral hippocampi, cerebellar cortices, and basal ganglia in patients presenting with altered mental status in the setting of substance intoxication. Previous case reports have demonstrated a strong correlation between CHANTER syndrome and polysubstance abuse, particularly with opioid intoxication. The patient we present in this case was found unresponsive following opioid use and demonstrated a constellation of findings on initial and follow-up imaging, consistent with CHANTER syndrome. While cases of irreversible brain damage or death during hospitalization have been reported in the literature, our patient demonstrated near-full recovery a few days after admission to the hospital. We aim to highlight the presentation and progression of CHANTER syndrome and alert clinicians and radiologists to include this entity in their diagnostic checklist for patients with polysubstance abuse and altered mental status.
