Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders with multiple brainstem manifestations: a case report.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

7 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 14 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
backgroundMultiple brainstem manifestations have been rarely reported during the same attack in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 39-year-old Asian woman presenting multiple brainstem manifestations including intractable nausea and vomiting, vertigo, diplopia, facial palsy, hypogeusia, ophthalmoplegia, hemiplegia, dysphagia and tonic spasm during the same attack. Hypogeusia was transient and recovered without any immunotherapy. The brain MRIs showed progressive multiple lesions in the brainstem. NMO-IgG (aquaporin4-antibody, AQP4-Ab) were positive in both serum and cerebral spinal fluid. The symptoms and signs were controlled after immunosuppressive therapy. No relapse happened during the 15-month follow-up.
conclusionThis report emphasizes multiple brainstem manifestations during the same attack in NMOSD and the most characteristic symptom was reversible hypogeusia.
