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

We herein report a rare case of a 78-year-old Japanese man who developed refractory status epilepticus due to tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). The patient initially presented with left-sided hemiplegia and loss of consciousness. Initial diagnostic tests could not identify the cause of the encephalomyelitis, leading to a preliminary diagnosis of autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Despite treatment with corticosteroids and plasma exchange, the patient experienced status epilepticus, which required multiple antiseizure medications. TBE viral antibodies were eventually detected, confirming the diagnosis. Despite the treatment, the patient remained critically ill. Clinicians should consider TBE in the differential diagnosis of encephalitis of unknown origin associated with status epilepticus.
