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

This case provides clinicopathological evidence supporting the association between FBDS and basal ganglia involvement in anti-LGI1 encephalitis. It highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by tumour-like unilateral basal ganglia lesions on MRI and underscores the importance of neuronal autoantibody testing before invasive procedures. In addition, this report contributes the first neuropathological description of basal ganglia involvement in anti-LGI1 encephalitis and summarises previously reported pathological findings.
