Thiamine Responsive Acute Infantile Encephalopathy.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This retrospective study was conducted to describe clinical and investigational findings and to determine the effect of thiamine treatment on mortality in patients admitted with acute non-infectious encephalopathy to a hospital in Sikkim between October 2019 and March 2021. Amongst 37 included patients the median age was 4 mo (IQR 3-5), 62.2% were males, 75% were exclusively breastfed infants, 67.6% and 89.2% patients had ophthalmologic and respiratory abnormalities respectively. Multisystem involvement was common. Bilateral basal ganglia involvement was noted in 75% of neuroimaging. Biochemical thiamine deficiency was confirmed in one infant. None of the 11 patients who received thiamine died whereas 20 among 26 patients who did not receive thiamine died [case fatality rate (CFR) 76.9%]. Thiamine treatment was significantly associated with reduced odds of mortality (aOR 0.046, 95% CI 0.0024-0.86, p 0.039). In patients with acute non-infectious encephalopathy and bilateral basal ganglia involvement thiamine use was associated with decreased mortality.
