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

Influenza A (H1N1) virus infection has been associated with various immune-mediated neurological disorders. Previous studies have reported cases of stiff person spectrum disorder (SPSD) subsequent to viral infections. We report a case of a 4-year-old boy who developed SPSD following H1N1 infection. The patient primarily presented with axial and limb muscle rigidity, painful spasms, and exaggerated startle responses. Electromyography (EMG) revealed continuous synchronous discharges in agonist and antagonist muscles, consistent with the characteristic manifestations of stiff person syndrome (SPS), meanwhile, repetitive compound muscle action potentials (R-CMAPs) following stimulation of the median, common peroneal and tibial nerves were observed on electroneurography (ENG). Symptoms markedly improved following benzodiazepine therapy, and complete remission was achieved after combined treatment with IVIG and glucocorticoids.
