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

backgroundHerpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE) frequently triggers secondary anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDARE), but markers predicting the occurrence of this entity (HSE-NMDARE) are lacking.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective description of patients with HSE-NMDARE diagnosed between July 2014 and August 2022 and compared them to both patients with regular forms of HSE and NMDARE.

resultsAmong the 375 patients with NMDARE, 13 HSE-NMDARE were included. The median age was 19 years (0.5-73), 4/13 (31%) were children < 4 years old, and 7/13 (54%) were male. The median time between HSE and NMDARE onset was 30 days (21-46). During NMDARE, symptoms differed from HSE, including increased behavioral changes (92% vs 23%, p = 0.008), movements disorders (62% vs 0%, p = 0.013), and dysautonomia (54% vs 0%, p = 0.041). Compared to 21 patients with regular HSE, patients with HSE-NMDARE more often achieved severity-associated criteria on initial MRIs, with extensive lesions (11/11, 100% vs 10/21, 48%, p = 0.005) and bilateral diffusion-weighted imaging sequence abnormalities (9/10, 90% vs 6/21, 29%, p = 0.002). Compared to 198 patients with regular NMDARE, patients with HSE-NMDARE were more frequently males (7/13, 54% vs 43/198, 22%; p = 0.015) and children < 4 (4/13, 31% vs 14/198, 7%; p = 0.016), with a worse 12-month mRS (2[1-6] vs 1[0-6], p = 0.023).

conclusionsHerein, patients with HSE-NMDARE have a poorer long-term prognosis than patients with regular NMDARE. We report a greater rate of severity-associated criteria on initial MRIs for HSE-NMDARE compared to regular HSE, which may help identify patients with higher risk of HSE-NMDARE.
