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

In this study, we report on a case of probable sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) diagnosed after a difficult course of status epilepticus (SE) in a patient with poststroke epilepsy. The patient was admitted with progressive cognitive decline and convulsive SE; therefore, it was initially thought that the patient had developed SE due to nonadherence to antiseizure medication (ASM) use, but despite treatment with ASMs after admission, no improvement was noted in consciousness disturbance or lateralized periodic discharges (LPDs) on electroencephalogram (EEG) examination. After a refractory course, the progression of LPDs to generalized periodic discharges (GPDs) on EEG and abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings met the diagnostic criteria of sCJD. Even if the patient had epilepsy, such as poststroke epilepsy, as in this case, it is essential to consider other underlying causes, including CJD in cases of superrefractory SE.
