Rapidly progressive locked-in syndrome secondary to atypical herpes simplex virus-1 rhombencephalitis in an immunocompromised individual.

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
HSV-1 encephalitis (HSE) is the most common cause of fatal sporadic encephalitis in the United States. HSE in adults is most commonly due to the reactivation of HSV in the central nervous system (CNS) which results in CNS necrosis leading to neurological compromise. The most common symptoms include altered mentation, fever, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. HSE most commonly involves damage to the temporal lobes however can rarely involve other CNS structures such as the brainstem and cerebellum. Immunocompromised status may increase the risk of atypical HSE. HSE involvement of the brainstem, particularly the pons, most commonly cause neuro-ocular and neuro-bulbar deficits. Rarely can HSV brainstem encephalitis cause quadriplegia or locked-in syndrome. We present a case of HSV-1 rhombencephalitis complicated by locked-in syndrome in a patient with CLL.
