Paralytic Rabies Encephalomeningomyelitis: A Tale of Two Cases With Emphasis on Imaging Findings and Relevant Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Imaging documentation of rabies encephalitis remains rare because of the progressive and fatal course of the disease. We present two cases of paralytic rabies encephalomeningomyelitis, showing varied imaging findings, one in a two-year-old girl whose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) illustrated typical features, and another case of a 65-year-old female with atypical MRI findings. These two cases emphasize that classical rabies shows predominant grey-matter involvement, whereas an atypical presentation, particularly in elderly patients with underlying comorbidities, shows a predilection for white matter, in contrast to the typical form. The identification of this varied imaging spectrum is crucial for prompt diagnosis, especially in endemic zones. The rarity of antemortem neuroimaging in rabies, with detailed documentation of typical and atypical cases, enriches the limited diagnostic literature and improves early recognition of the disease's imaging spectrum.
