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

The purpose of this study is to present a case of a patient with a negative skin biopsy who was diagnosed with neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) through a retrospective review of a bladder biopsy specimen obtained 10 years ago. The patient initially presented with encephalitis-like symptoms, including fever, headache, and abnormal mental behavior. However, the DWI hyperintensity in the corticomedullary junction indicated the possibility of NIID. Due to the negative results of the skin biopsy, we initially refrained from hastily diagnosing the patient with NIID. However, 6 months later, the patient was readmitted to the hospital due to similar symptoms, and a follow-up MRI showed significant enlargement of the lesions at the corticomedullary junction. This time we identified intranuclear inclusions in her tissue specimens from bladder surgery. Subsequently, genetic testing was performed, leading to the diagnosis of NIID in the patient. Our case report indicates that detecting intranuclear inclusions from previous surgical specimens, rather than relying solely on skin biopsy, could significantly enhance diagnostic methods for NIID.
