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

We report a rare case of an 18-year-old female patient who presented with fever, altered mental status, and seizures and was diagnosed with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis in the setting of a right ovarian teratoma with high-titer antibodies. Despite immunotherapy and tumor resection, she developed severe autonomic instability characterized by recurrent bradycardia, sinus pauses, and an episode of asystole, necessitating temporary transvenous pacing followed by permanent pacemaker (Boston Scientific, USA) implantation. This case highlights the potential for life-threatening cardiac complications in anti-NMDAR encephalitis and emphasizes the need for continuous cardiac monitoring, timely intervention, and multidisciplinary management.
