Longitudinal PET and MRI Evaluation in Late Onset Rasmussen Encephalitis: A Series of Three Cases.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundRasmussen's encephalitis (RE) is a rare, chronic, neurological disorder characterized by progressive focal epilepsy and hemispheric atrophy. Late-onset RE poses diagnostic challenges due to atypical clinical features and nonspecific early MRI findings.
methodsThis case series underscores the value of [18F]FDG PET in detecting unihemispheric hypometabolism and crossed cerebellar diaschisis at diagnosis, before MRI changes appear.
resultsDuring follow-up, PET identified active disease through hypermetabolic foci or pseudo-normalized metabolism, indicative of subclinical seizures, while stable hypometabolism signaled quiescence.
conclusionCombining PET with MRI enhances diagnostic accuracy and guides treatment decisions in managing RE.
