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

Acute encephalopathy associated with infectious diseases occurs frequently in Japanese children (400-700 children/year) and is the most common in infants aged 0-3 years. Acute encephalopathy is classified into several clinicoradiological syndromes; acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is the most common subtype, followed by clinically mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) and acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE). Neuroimaging, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is useful for the diagnosis, assessment of treatment efficacy, and evaluation of the pathophysiology of encephalopathy syndromes. MRI findings essential for diagnosis include delayed subcortical reduced diffusion (bright tree appearance) for AESD, reversible splenial lesions with homogeneously reduced diffusion for MERS, and symmetric hemorrhagic thalamic lesions for ANE. We reviewed several MRI techniques that have been applied in recent years, including diffusion-weighted imaging for the characterization of cerebral edema, arterial spin labeling for evaluating cerebral perfusion, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy for evaluating metabolic abnormality.
