Adenylate kinase 5 autoimmune encephalitis following craniopharyngioma radiotherapy.
Article in BMC neurology, 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
backgroundAnti-AK5 encephalitis is a rare, non-paraneoplastic autoimmune disorder, typically characterized by anterograde amnesia as a core clinical manifestation. Although seizures are infrequent in the early disease phase, some patients may develop seizures as the condition progresses. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare case of anti-adenylate kinase 5 (AK5) autoimmune encephalitis following surgical resection and radiotherapy for craniopharyngioma. After cranial radiotherapy, the patient exhibited clinical manifestations such as personality changes and a decline in recent memory. However, the diagnosis was not made until several years later when the patient presented with the onset of epilepsy. By that time, imaging already showed abnormal signals and atrophy in the hippocampus.
conclusionThis case highlights the distinct clinical features of AK5 encephalitis and raises the potential association between brain radiotherapy and the development of autoimmune inflammation within the central nervous system.
