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

A 48-year-old woman was referred with an 18-year history of focal-onset seizures. She also reported years-long slowly progressive right-sided weakness that was corroborated on examination. Repeated brain MRIs over 15 years showed multifocal left hemispheric T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery-hyperintense lesions with patchy enhancement and microhemorrhages, no diffusion restriction, and a left cerebellar infarct (Figure 1, A-F). Only 2 nonspecific white matter lesions were seen contralaterally, indicating largely unihemispheric disease. Differential diagnosis included unilateral primary angiitis of the CNS (PACNS), Rasmussen encephalitis, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease.
