Case report: Reversible splenial lesion syndrome preceding the onset of multiple sclerosis.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The reversible splenial lesion syndrome is frequently associated with systemic and central nervous system infections. Whether an infection associated with the occurrence of the reversible splenial lesion syndrome could play a role in the later development of multiple sclerosis is unknown. Methods: Case Report. Results: A 27-year-old woman developed an infection-related reversible splenial lesion syndrome. Diagnostic findings did not establish a specific type of infection, but revealed evidence for a potential disposition towards autoimmunity. 32 months after the initial presentation, new clinical and radiological manifestations developed that led to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Conclusions: In susceptible individuals, infectious disease processes involving the central nervous system, such as described in this case, might be a factor in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. More research on the prodromal stage of multiple sclerosis is needed to better understand the relationship between infections and autoimmunity.
