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

Granulomatous disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) encompass a highly heterogeneous group of diseases with autoinflammatory, autoimmune, infectious, proliferative-neoplastic, foreign body-related, or drug-induced aetiologies. Neuroimaging plays a pivotal role, particularly with respect to early diagnosis. Therefore, knowledge of specific imaging patterns is crucial in order to narrow down the broad differential diagnosis. Although imaging cannot replace histology, its importance in initiating therapy as early as possible is indisputable. This is particularly true since many granulomatous diseases respond to treatment, usually with immunosuppressants and/or anti-infectives. This review highlights representative disease entities across the major aetiological categories and discusses key neuroradiological features and clinical symptoms together with relevant differential diagnostic considerations.
