Reversible parkinsonism due to a large intracranial tumour.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2012. 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
A 77-year-old woman presented with progressively worsening apathy, depression, urinary incontinence and slowness of movement for the past 1 year. Asymmetric akinetic-rigid parkinsonism and mild left-sided hyper-reflexia were seen on examination. No ocular movement impairment, cerebellar or sensory signs were noticed. Routine laboratory testing was normal. Brain imaging revealed a large frontal tumour which was subsequently excised and pathologically confirmed as a meningioma. Marked clinical improvement was documented 3 months after surgery, and persistent clinical and imaging remission have been confirmed annually for the following 3 years. There have been some reports of parkinsonism associated with intracranial tumours. Although this is probably an uncommon situation, it is potentially treatable, and symptoms might even remit completely following successful management. Parkinson's disease is a common cause of parkinsonism, but alternative aetiologies should be suspected whenever atypical findings are demonstrated by clinical history or examination.
