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

Susac syndrome is a rare microangiopathy of unclear etiology, likely autoimmune, characterized by a characteristic clinical triad of encephalopathy, retinopathy, and hypoacusis. The majority of cases reported in the literature involve adult patients, with its occurrence in the pediatric population being extremely rare. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for diagnosis and patient monitoring, revealing nearly pathognomonic features, particularly valuable given the typically incomplete clinical triad and the consistent presence of encephalopathy, often as the initial symptom. We report the case of an 11-year-old child diagnosed with Susac syndrome, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnosis in cases of childhood encephalopathy and initiating treatment as early as possible to prevent irreversible sequelae.
