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

Rasmussen encephalitis is a chronic and progressive inflammatory encephalopathy, responsible for unilateral hemispheric damage causing focal epileptic seizures, hemiparesis and cognitive decline. It is an immune-mediated disease, with constant involvement of T lymphocytes. It generally progresses in three phases: a prodromal phase, an acute phase and a residual phase. The diagnostic criteria have been well established since the European consensus of 2005. Early injections of intravenous immunoglobulin and Natalizumab allowed a reduction in the frequency of seizures and cerebral inflammation. We report a case of Rasmussen encephalitis with a review of literature to shed light on this condition suffering from diagnostic delay or even diagnostic error.
