Sporadic Creutzfeldt-jakob disease: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical 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
backgroundCreutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare, transmissible, and fatal degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. As the most common human prion disease, it typically presents with progressive dementia, visual impairment, cerebellar ataxia, pyramidal or extrapyramidal signs, myoclonus, and akinetic mutism. Although dizziness is a prevalent clinical symptom, it is an uncommon initial manifestation of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 71-year-old Chinese woman who presented to our hospital with dizziness. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed extensive cortical hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted imaging. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was positive for the 14-3-3 protein. Collectively, these findings, along with additional supportive investigations, led to the diagnosis of possible sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
conclusionsThis case illustrates that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease can manifest with atypical symptoms like dizziness, highlighting the essential role of brain magnetic resonance imaging in securing the diagnosis. In light of the disease's rarity and clinical heterogeneity, detailed reporting of such cases provides valuable clinical insights that deepen physicians' understanding of this condition.
