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

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiological illness characterized by neurological symptoms and reversible changes in neuroimaging. We discuss the case of a 45-year-old patient with an alcohol use disorder who presented with an altered mental state in the emergency room. Home-made alcohol, known to contain significant quantities of methanol, was recently consumed in excess by the said patient. The diagnosis of PRES was supported by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which showed bilateral hyperintense regions in the temporo-occipital lobes and diffuse cerebral edema. The development of PRES and chronic alcoholism, as well as binge drinking and possible endothelial dysfunction, are all highlighted in this case study. For individuals with PRES, early identification and adequate care are essential for reducing complications and improving outcomes.
