A rare case of glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy that resolved spontaneously within a self-limited course.

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
Glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy is a form of autoimmune meningoencephalomyelitis. The presence of antibodies in spinal fluid against glial fibrillary acidic protein is necessary to diagnose the disease. There is no standard treatment and few cases of glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy have been reported. A 31-year-old healthy Japanese man presented to our emergency department with a 7-day history of fever and headache. He was in good general condition, without abnormalities on physical examination, and a general hematological examination revealed hyponatremia (130 mEq/L). Five days later, he was followed up and new subjective symptoms were noted: tremor in the right hand, constipation, sweating, and lightheadedness. Cerebrospinal fluid examination revealed a cell count of 57/μL (96 % mononuclear cells, 4 % multinuclear cells), elevated protein level (103 mg/dL), elevated adenosine deaminase level (15.0 U/L), negative polymerase chain reaction test results for herpes simplex virus and
