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

Introduction: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare and complex inherited subtype of migraine with aura, characterised by migraine with a reversible motor aura, and may present with a wide spectrum of neurological symptoms, making diagnosis particularly challenging. Case Presentation: We report a case of FHM presenting with prolonged hemiparesis, severe headache, altered consciousness, and fever. This constellation of symptoms initially suggested acute stroke, encephalitis, or status epilepticus. A precise clinical history and targeted genetic testing (CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SCN1A, and PRRT2) proved essential for establishing the diagnosis. Conclusion: This case highlights the wide phenotypic variability of FHM and the risk of misdiagnosis in emergency settings. Early recognition through careful clinical assessment and appropriate genetic testing enabled appropriate management and avoided unnecessary interventions.
