Reviewing the Uncommon Extrahepatic Central Nervous System (CNS) Manifestations of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
This case report aims to shed more light on the increasingly described scenario of extrahepatic central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We present a possible rare case of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis manifesting as ring-enhancing lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head study conducted on a gentleman in his 50s who presented to the hospital with neurologic features, with an evident demonstration of HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid sampled. A closer differential of tumefactive multiple sclerosis due to HCV was considered as well. An increasing association of HCV infection with non-Hodgkin's (B-cell) lymphoma, which can potentially affect the brain, is also being noted in the literature. Other common causes of ring-enhancing brain lesions were considered, and attempts were made to exclude a majority of them in this case report.
