Headache As the Sole Symptom in Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation With Pontine Perivascular Enhancement Responsive to Steroids (CLIPPERS): A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation with Pontine Perivascular Enhancement Responsive to Steroids (CLIPPERS) is a rare central nervous system inflammatory condition usually presenting with a range of symptoms, including ataxia, diplopia, dysarthria, seizures, and headaches. We present a unique case of a 22-year-old woman exhibiting headache as the sole symptom. Imaging and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, and initial steroid treatment provided relief, though it relapsed on tapering. Long-term management with low-dose steroids and mycophenolate mofetil achieved remission. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of CLIPPERS, emphasizing the need for prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans to improve patient outcomes. Further research is necessary to enhance our understanding and management of CLIPPERS.
