Mild Encephalitis/Encephalopathy With a Reversible Splenial Lesion (MERS) Type II in an Adult: A Case Report and Diagnostic Insight.
Article in Cureus, 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
Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a rare clinico-radiological syndrome characterized by transient lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although increasingly recognized in pediatric populations, MERS remains underdiagnosed in adults. We report a case of adult-onset MERS that presented with nonspecific neurological symptoms following a respiratory prodrome. Brain MRI demonstrated the characteristic diffusion-restricting splenial lesion, which guided the diagnostic approach. The rapid and complete resolution of both clinical symptoms and radiological abnormalities confirmed the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of including MERS in the differential diagnosis of adult encephalopathy, particularly due to its excellent prognosis and potential to mimic more serious neurological conditions.
