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

Key Clinical Message: Accurately identifying fulminant demyelinating diseases is important for sudden onset of asymmetric cerebral white matter lesions with mass effect. Initially, immunotherapy should be administered; however, surgical intervention should be performed with poor response to medical management and evident signs of cerebral herniation. Abstract: A case of fulminant demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that required decompressive craniectomy 8 days after symptom onset is presented. The patient recovered without sequelae after a combination of neurosurgery and immunotherapy with steroids and has remained relapse-free for 4 years.
