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 52-year-old female patient with a background of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease under immunosuppression presented with headache and confusion, requiring hospitalization. Neurological examination revealed drowsiness, stiff neck, and elevated intracranial pressure in cerebrospinal fluid, accompanied by marked increases in white blood cells and protein levels. The patient experienced convulsions on the first night of admission. MRI identified nodular lesions surrounding edema in bilateral occipital lobes, the posterior horn of the left lateral ventricle, and the left frontal lobe. Within 48 h, the patient progressed to coma and respiratory failure. On the third day, CSF next-generation sequencing confirmed
