Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, the role of the susceptibility-weighted imaging sequence in a case of immunosuppression of an initially unknown cause.
Article in Encephalitis (Seoul, Korea), 2025. 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
We describe the case of a 47-year-old woman who was confused and complained about left-sided weakness when she presented to our institution. The patient underwent a head computed tomography that raised the suspicion of a recent-onset ischemic episode (subacute phase). The patient was admitted to the neurology department and underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast medium administration. The clinical and laboratory findings and the MRI features, particularly the presence of a hypointense rim in the susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) sequences, were consistent with a diagnosis of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Immunosuppression was observed as a result of lymphopenia, and the patient was subsequently diagnosed with previously undocumented AIDS. Our aim is to present this rare case of PML in an immunocompromised patient with AIDS, describing the main MRI features and the possible role of SWI sequences.
