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

The article presents the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented to the hospital for a diagnosis of persistent headaches. The patient had been unsuccessfully treated for two months, developing further complications in the form of visual disturbances and abducens nerve palsy. The patient reported a recent tick bite. Imaging studies in the form of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and transcranial Doppler ultrasound showed no abnormalities. In the next step, a lumbar puncture was performed, which yielded clear cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with marked lymphocytic pleocytosis (122 cells/μL). CSF analysis confirmed the intrathecal synthesis of antibodies to
