Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis in a child six years after measles infection.
Article in IDCases, 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
Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that remains endemic in many parts of the world, posing significant risks of severe and long-term complications. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy hospitalized for epilepsy with myoclonic spasms and cognitive decline. Clinical and paraclinical investigations, including electroencephalography, imaging tests, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, suggested a neurodegenerative process. The patient had contracted measles at the age of two and had not received full vaccination. Elevated measles-specific immunoglobulins and intrathecal focus of synthesis, as confirmed by the French National Reference Center, confirm the diagnosis of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. Despite initiation of antiviral and immunomodulatory treatments, the patient experienced a neurological deterioration, ultimately developing severe motor and cognitive impairment. This case highlights the severity of a rare but concerning pathology in the light of emerging measles epidemics and the decline in vaccination.
