Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome After Infliximab Infusion for Fistulizing Crohn's Disease.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Biologic therapy is the mainstay of treatment of complicated inflammatory bowel diseases, which has numerous potential side effects. Among these is a rare condition known as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which is a reversible neurological disorder that results in symptoms such as headache, nausea/vomiting, blurry vision, and seizure and is diagnosed based on specific clinical and radiological features. This report presents a case of a 19-year-old woman with fistulizing Crohn's disease who was treated with infliximab, but subsequently developed PRES, which was manifested as recurrent episodes of seizures and elevated blood pressure readings, was managed supportively with antiepileptic and antihypertensive medications and eventually made a full recovery, even after resuming infliximab. This case adds to the fewer than 10 previously reported cases of PRES associated with biological therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. It highlights the need to consider this complication when prescribing these drugs.
