Anti-contact protein-associated protein 2 antibody encephalitis in children: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAnti-contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) antibody encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of antibodies against the voltage-gated potassium channel. This leads to neurological symptoms, such as seizures, cognitive decline, and neuropathic pain, primarily affecting the limbic system. The prognosis of this disorder varies among individuals. CASE SUMMARY: The patient, a girl aged nine years and nine months, underwent treatment for 14 to 21 d. The main clinical manifestations were vomiting and unclear consciousness, positive pathological signs, normal cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and abnormal electroencephalogram. The child was discharged after receiving immunoglobulin and hormone treatment. Subsequent follow-up over a period of 15 months after discharge, conducted through telephone and outpatient visits, showed no recurrence of symptoms.
conclusionAnti-CASPR2 antibody autoimmune encephalitis in children is rare, mainly manifested as convulsions, mental abnormalities, cognitive impairment, and neuropathic pain, among others. Timely evaluation for autoimmune encephalitis antibodies is crucial, especially in cases of recurrent central nervous system involvement in children.
