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

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) is a rare condition primarily driven by an autoimmune reaction against cerebrovascular amyloid beta protein. Accurate diagnosis hinges on recognizing characteristic clinical symptoms and imaging features, such as asymmetric cerebral white matter lesions often linked to angioedema. We report the case of a woman in her 70s with progressive, irreversible CAA-ri who initially presented with left homonymous hemianopia and experienced significant psychiatric and neurological deterioration following an epileptic seizure. Despite initiating corticosteroid therapy seven months after onset, her condition continued to worsen, ultimately leading to her death in the 11th month due to general decline. This report reviews the clinical progression and imaging findings of the case, discusses the diagnostic process for CAA-ri, differentiates it from related conditions, and evaluates the timing of corticosteroid treatment.
