Good clinical history scores over extensive workup in unmasking a case of galactorrhoea.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. 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
The clinical presentation of a young woman with galactorrhoea is described in detail including the history and clinical examination findings. While the patient and her family members feared a serious medical condition which had so far been an obscurity despite a number of investigations, we tried to diagnose the patient starting from the basics, which after a proper history revealed a levosulpiride-induced galactorrhoea. This again lays emphasis on the old adage in medical field that 'a proper history and examination are the key to diagnosis'. There are few reports pertaining to levosulpiride-induced galactorrhoea making it a rare side effect of this drug. We further try to discuss the different causes of galactorrhoea in a young non-pregnant woman which can be encountered in clinical practice.
