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
introductionThe differential diagnosis of Primary Central Nervous System Angiitis (PACNS) is complex and includes several inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions. Among the first ones, post-infectious CNS vasculitides represent a relevant topic and they are often underdiagnosed.
aimsThe main aim of this review is to summarize the clinical and neuroimaging features of post-infectious vasculitides, highlighting the diagnostic clues and the need to carefully consider them in the differential diagnosis of PACNS.
findingsSeveral infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites) can be involved in documented post-infectious vasculitides, often with a pathological confirmation. Post-infectious vasculitides involve not only immunocompromised hosts but also immunocompetent people and the diagnosis might be complicated by the lack of close time relationship between infections and neuro-logical symptoms, as in Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) related vasculopathy in adults. Several complications may occur, ranging from ischemic to hemorrhagic stroke, from arterial to venous thrombosis, from large to small vessel involvement, often simultaneously.
conclusionsPost-infectious vasculitides are caused by a broad spectrum of microorganisms and they should be carefully considered in the differential diagnosis of some neurological pictures and neuroradiologicals findings in immunocompetent adults too.
