Prion diseases.
Review in Journal of neurovirology, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Prion diseases are incurable neurodegenerative conditions affecting both animals and humans. They may be sporadic, infectious, or inherited in origin. Human prion diseases include Creutzfeldt-Jakob desease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease, kuru, and fatal familial insomnia. The appearance of variant CJD, and the demonstration that is caused by strains indistinguishable from bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, has led to the threat of a major epidemic of human prion disease in the UK and other countries where widespread dietary exposure to bovine prions has occurred. This article reviews the history and epidemiology of these diseases, and then focuses on important areas of current research in human prion disorders.
