Case of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) evolved to PCA-CBS.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 68-year-old lawyer developed insidious disturbances in topographic orientation and apraxia. He underwent a geriatric evaluation, only documenting slight cognitive disturbances, and a 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), showing mild right-lateralised frontoparietal hypometabolism. After 1 year, because of worsening in spatial orientation and the onset of dressing apraxia, he was referred to our memory clinic. The neuropsychological evaluation documented proeminent visuospatial, praxis deficits and dysgraphia. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarker analysis showed mild increase of total-τ, with normal Aβ1-42, ruling out Alzheimer's disease. Progression of the right parietal hypometabolism at FDG-PET and right superior longitudinal fasciculus damage at high-field MRI revealed a probable neurodegenerative aetiology. The neurological examination disclosed then Gerstmann's and Balint's syndromes, and extrapyramidal signs later appeared, suggesting the diagnosis of posterior cortical atrophy associated with corticobasal syndrome.
