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

Objective: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological syndrome characterised by seizures, hypertension, visual disturbances alongside classical parieto-occipital lesions on neuroimaging. We report the clinical presentation and management of the largest UK paediatric PRES cohort. Methods: Seventy-seven children (x̄ age = 8.6 years [SD = 4.3], 64% male) experienced PRES as inpatients at Great Ormond Street Hospital (London, UK) from January 2005 to May 2024. Electronic patient records were retrospectively analysed. Results: Most children (97.4%) had significant co-morbidities, including haem-oncological ( Conclusion: Our cohort showcases the broad clinical spectrum of paediatric PRES. Global standardised clinical pathways are needed to better inform both acute and long-term management and outcomes.
