When Wernicke's encephalopathy mimics stroke: A case report of atypical thalamic involvement.
Article in IBRO neuroscience reports, 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
Wernicke's Encephalopathy (WE) is a metabolic disorder caused by thiamine deficiency, most commonly linked to chronic alcohol use. It typically presents with a triad of ataxia, mental confusion, and oculomotor abnormalities, with classic MRI findings showing symmetric hyperintensities in the mammillary bodies, thalamus, and periaqueductal region. The authors report a case of a 55-year-old male with WE presenting atypical unilateral thalamic hyperintensities on MRI, initially misdiagnosed as ischemic stroke. Delayed thiamine supplementation led to significant clinical improvement and resolution of atypical findings, with subsequent emergence of traditional bilateral WE changes on MRI. This case emphasizes the importance of early thiamine therapy and demonstrates that treatment can still be beneficial even when delayed.
