Focal CNS vasculitis masquerading as new-onset focal aware seizures.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is an autoimmune disease with myriad presentations in the form of headache, focal neurological deficits, seizures and rapid cognitive decline. Predilection or isolated and recurrent involvement of one hemisphere is rarely described in literature. This leads to low clinical suspicion and often delayed diagnosis of PACNS, if clinical and radiological involvement is focal. We describe the case of a young man presenting with new-onset focal seizures with imaging suggestive of focal involvement and the brain biopsy clinched an early diagnosis. The 1-year follow-up showed clinical and radiological resolution.
