A Case Report of a Positive Antinuclear Ribonucleoprotein Antibody, a Weak-Positive Antinuclear Antibody, Elevated C3 Complement, and Possibly Trauma-Induced Rasmussen's Encephalitis.
Article in Cureus, 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
A case of a late-onset Rasmussen's encephalitis (RE) presenting with drug-refractory focal epilepsy and progressive hemispheric cerebral atrophy noted on a serial radiologic head scan done on a gentleman in his 30s is presented. A positive antinuclear ribonucleoprotein antibody test, a weak-positive antinuclear antibody test, an elevated C3 complement, and possible trauma were identified as potential causative or promoting factors for RE in this patient. Literature evidence regarding the challenges with the aetiopathogenesis description, diagnosis, and management of this rare condition has been reviewed in this article. Exploring an aetiological-based diagnosis of this condition could open research and interventional opportunities into aetiology-guided management opportunities in this condition.
