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

Paraneoplastic neurological disorders are rare in children, with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) considered highly atypical. We describe a 13-year-old girl with progressive neurobehavioral regression, cerebellar ataxia, and intractable epilepsy presenting in super-refractory status epilepticus. After an extensive evaluation, her clinical picture was suggestive of probable autoimmune encephalitis (AE). Further diagnostic testing revealed a molecularly undefined neural-restricted autoantibody in both serum and CSF, raising suspicion over an adrenal mass previously considered incidental. Surgical resection led to a robust clinical improvement, and pathology revealed a benign ganglioneuroma. This report widens the spectrum of paraneoplastic manifestations of ganglioneuroma, reviews the diagnostic approach to antibody-negative pediatric AE, and raises important clinical considerations regarding benign and incidentally found tumors in the setting of a suspected paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome.
