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

Recognizing the MRI characteristics of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is essential for early diagnosis. This report describes the oldest known case of an 83-year-old man with rapidly progressive dementia and HIV-associated classic PML. Brain MRI revealed hallmark findings, including asymmetric, continuous, non-enhancing subcortical lesions in the parietooccipital regions and the "shrimp sign" in the cerebellar white matter. These characteristic imaging patterns, in the appropriate clinical context, are clues for the early identification of PML.
