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

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) typically presents with fever, seizures, and altered sensorium, but atypical presentations with predominant psychiatric symptoms can delay diagnosis and treatment. We report a case series of three patients, who initially exhibited psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations and mood disturbances, without classic neurological signs. Diagnosis was confirmed via cerebrospinal fluid analysis and MRI findings. Early antiviral therapy led to prompt recovery. This series highlights the importance of considering HSE in acute psychiatric presentations to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure timely intervention.
