Clinical Reasoning: A 66-Year-Old Female Patient With Rapidly Progressive Memory Changes.
Article in Neurology, 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
An otherwise healthy 66-year-old female patient presented with 3 months of memory loss prompting evaluation for rapidly progressive dementia. A broad systemic evaluation for vascular, infectious, toxic metabolic, autoimmune/paraneoplastic, and neoplastic diseases was performed. Neuroimaging revealed symmetric bilateral fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensities of the thalami, paramedian frontal regions, and mesial temporal lobes without contrast enhancement on MRI. Lumbar puncture did not uncover an inflammatory profile. The patient was treated for presumed seronegative autoimmune encephalitis and showed mild initial improvement but subsequently developed obstructive hydrocephalus and status epilepticus during the corticosteroid taper. The patient's atypical course and imaging presented a challenging differential diagnosis and provide an instructive approach to establishing a definitive diagnosis.
