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

Steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with thyroiditis (SREAT) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by cognitive dysfunction. SREAT is frequently overlooked despite its profound impact on patients and the healthcare system. This case report details a male patient who experienced a series of neuropsychiatric symptoms over several months, ultimately attributed to SREAT, emphasizing the critical impact of delayed recognition. The case underscores the diverse and often complicated presentations of SREAT, advocating for the timely consideration of autoimmune encephalopathy in patients with unexplained neuropsychiatric symptoms and abnormal thyroid function. Furthermore, it illustrates the effectiveness of steroids in managing SREAT and the challenges posed by long-term steroid use. Comprehensive diagnostic criteria and tailored treatment strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes in this rare but impactful disorder.
