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 clinico-radiological condition characterized by reversible vasogenic edema of the white matter and acute neurological symptoms. PRES typically affects the parieto-occipital regions but rarely affects the optic pathway. Herein, we describe a case of central-variant PRES in a 57-year-old man with abnormal signal intensities in the optic pathway on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient underwent hemodialysis, initiated diuretics and antihypertensive medications, and the abnormal signal intensities of the brainstem and optic pathway on MRI improved. Although rare, PRES can affect the optic pathway, thus suggesting the possibility of fragility of the optic pathway itself to hyperperfusion.
