MRI as a key tool in presumptive antemortem diagnosis of rabies: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Rabies, a rapidly progressive and fatal viral encephalitis, can present a diagnostic challenge in its paralytic form, which can mimic Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and delay diagnosis, especially when classic symptoms like hydrophobia and aerophobia are absent. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman with progressive bilateral leg weakness, urinary retention, and behavioral changes. She developed symptoms 1 month after a dog bite and 6 days after completing post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), initially leading to suspicion of post vaccination Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) or ADEM. Despite supportive care, her condition worsened. Brain and spinal MRI revealed characteristic symmetrical T2/FLAIR hyperintensities in the bilateral basal ganglia, thalami, limbic system, brainstem, and central cervical spinal cord as seen in rabies encephalitis. This case highlights the diagnostic value of MRI in identifying rabies, particularly in atypical presentations and post-vaccination states.
