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 describe the case of a 41-year-old man diagnosed with adult-onset subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE). The patient presented with subacute progressive cognitive deficits and a neuropsychological profile indicating predominant frontoparietal dysfunction. MRI showed only mild parietal-predominant cerebral atrophy. The patient later developed periodic myoclonic jerks with time-locked periodic slow wave complexes on electroencephalography. Evidence of intrathecal synthesis of anti-measles IgG was identified in the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient satisfied modified Dyken diagnostic criteria and was diagnosed with SSPE. A frontoparietal pattern of deficits on neuropsychological assessment may be an early clue to the diagnosis of adult-onset SSPE.
