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

Encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition with long-term neurological sequelae. However, data on early clinical, demographic, and diagnostic predictors of functional outcomes remain limited. We performed a retrospective monocentric study including 98 patients diagnosed with infectious encephalitis of various etiologies treated in the University Hospital Ulm between January 2014 and December 2024. Ordinal logistic regression models were applied to evaluate associations between admission characteristics and functional outcome at discharge, as measured by the modified Rankin Scale. Three multivariate models incorporating clinical, demographic, and MRI/EEG variables explained up to 53% of the variance in mRS at discharge (
