Clinical spectrum of AES (Acute encephalitis syndrome) and a syndromic approach for its diagnosis.
Article in Journal of neurovirology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is now being used for surveillance in all encephalitis endemic zones irrespective of the etiology. Numerous viral pathogens possess the ability to invade the CNS and produce neurologic dysfunction. We performed a hospital-based descriptive study between January 2019 to January 2020 in the Department of Microbiology, GMC, Thiruvananthapuram taking samples from 193 AES patients admitted under the Departments of Internal Medicine, Neurology & Paediatrics. The samples were proceeded with PCR/ELISA depending on the clinical history. A viral etiology was established in 48 cases (24.9%) & most were caused by EBV (5.7%). MRI revealed temporal lobe involvement in 9 patients. 20% cases had post-encephalitic sequelae-focal neurological deficits and persistent seizures. Most number of patients were found to have infected with Epstein- Barr virus. Identification of the causative agent is of great importance in AES, as rapid detection and confirmation of etiological agent will have a tremendous impact on the management of outbreaks as well as patient's disease.
