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

Acute focal neurological deficits demand immediate evaluation. In this report, we present the case of a woman 20-some years of age with a history of hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia who presented with altered mental status and focal neurological deficits including aphasia, acute left gaze preference, right homonymous hemianopsia, right lower facial weakness, and right arm and leg weakness. Extensive neurological and hematological workup revealed that the patient suffered from focal status epilepticus associated with an extreme delta brush patten on electroencephalogram, likely secondary to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. This case underscores the connection between hematological disorders and the neurological axis, emphasizing the critical role of integrating the neurological examination and neuroimaging findings to formulate an effective management plan.
