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

Psychosis is a complex mental health condition that can have a profound impact on individuals and their families. It is characterized by a loss of contact with reality, including delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking. While psychosis is most commonly associated with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, it is crucial to consider other potential causes to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. One such often overlooked condition is herpes encephalitis, a viral infection that affects the brain, like in this case where a 22 year old male presented with acute episodes of psychosis which later turned out to be herpes encephalitis diagnosed on MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of brain screening followed by CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) analysis. In this article, we will also discuss herpes encephalitis and explore its role as a differential diagnosis for psychosis.
