Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis in a 63-Year-Old Woman Presenting as Generalized Choreoathetosis.
Article in The Neurohospitalist, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The persistence of measles virus infection in childhood and early adolescence can rarely lead to a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder known as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), characterized by behavioral disturbances and intellectual disability followed by myoclonic jerks and occasional negative myoclonus. Movement disorders are rarely presenting manifestations in SSPE. We herein report a 63-year-old woman with generalized choreoathetosis as the presenting manifestation of stage-I SSPE. Our case was atypical for the patient's age and clinical presentation with generalized choreoathetosis and bilateral putaminal and caudate nucleus signal hyperintensity. Though highly uncommon, neurologists should keep SSPE as a differential diagnosis among patients with movement disorders. Measles-endemic countries should be more vigilant to the atypical and rare presentations of SSPE, such as generalized choreoathetosis.
