Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in a Saudi Female: 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, rapidly progressive, and incurable neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions. It is invariably fatal and classified under transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. This case report presents a 66-year-old Saudi female who was admitted to the neurology department due to a rapidly advancing cognitive decline. The patient underwent diagnostic evaluation, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG). Following a month of hospitalization with psychosocial support, the patient was stable and subsequently discharged. In conclusion, while CJD is an uncommon condition, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with rapidly progressive dementia. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential to differentiate this untreatable disease from other treatable forms of rapidly progressive dementia and to facilitate potential future therapeutic interventions.
