Adult Onset Acute Flaccid Myelitis: A Case Report.
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
We report a 23-year-old male who presented with acute dysarthria, dysphagia, and quadriparesis. These symptoms were preceded by fever and headache. His neurological symptoms were progressive and rendered him quadriplegic over three weeks. Extensive workup for infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic etiologies was negative; however, the clinical course and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord were consistent with the United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria of acute flaccid myelitis. The patient had various lines of therapy, including antimicrobial agents, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange, and corticosteroids but he was discharged with significant disability. Despite the increasing number of reported cases worldwide, many aspects of this condition remain unknown including its pathophysiology and optimal treatment regimen. In this case report, we shed light on this clinical entity to increase awareness among practitioners worldwide.
