Successfully salvaging a HIV-positive patient with mixed CIDP and meningoencephalitis: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
We describe an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient who first exhibited chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and subsequently developed meningoencephalitis due to ganciclovir (GCV)-resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The patient first presented with peripheral nervous system (PNS) symptoms, followed by central nervous system (CNS) symptoms. Based on auxiliary examinations, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests, electromyography (EMG), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and GCV drug resistance tests, the patient was diagnosed with CIDP and meningoencephalitis due to CSF GCV-resistant CMV. After the combined application of intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, corticosteroid treatment, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and adjusted anti-CMV treatment, the patient achieved persistent relief. This case underscores the importance of considering CMV as a common etiology of neurological disorders in AIDS patients. It also highlights the necessity of prompt drug resistance testing when anti-CMV therapy yields suboptimal responses.
