Unusual presentation of Sjögren's syndrome.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We present a case of a 67-year-old woman admitted from the neurology clinic for further investigations of progressive ataxia and sensory symptoms. Neurological examination showed reduced pinprick and absent vibration sensations in the lower limbs. Motor system examination was normal. Her antinuclear antibodies titre was 1:100 with positive Ro antibodies. Her initial nerve conduction studies were normal. However, the lower limb somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEP) demonstrated impairment of central sensory conduction pathway. Rheumatology review revealed a history of fatigue and Sicca symptoms and her Schirmer's test was strongly positive. This lead to the diagnosis of ganglionopathy associated to Sjögren's syndrome. She had an excellent response to intravenous methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisolone and intravenous cyclophosphamide infusions. This case highlights that dorsal column involvement can precede the diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome.
