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

A woman in her 20s presented with an 8-week history of nausea and vomiting. She reported poor appetite and unintentional weight loss of more than 10 kg of her body mass. Two weeks before admission, she developed double vision followed by unsteady gait and confusion. Neurological examination revealed bilateral lateral rectus palsy with horizontal nystagmus in her eyes and ataxic gait. Brain MRI revealed T2/fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) high signal in symmetrical thalamic hyperintensities suggestive of Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE). The patient was given intravenous thiamine and made a rapid and dramatic recovery. Through this case, we wish to highlight a rare presentation of WE in a non-alcoholic patient precipitated by thiamine deficiency secondary to Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome.
