Integrated treatment for autonomic paraneoplastic syndrome improves performance status in a patient with small lung cell carcinoma: a case report.

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
backgroundParaneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare disorders associated with cancer and are believed to be immune mediated. Patients with autonomic PNS suffer from variable combinations of parasympathetic and sympathetic failure. Autonomic PNS are usually associated with other PNS, such as encephalomyelitis and sensory neuropathy; however, autonomic symptoms may rarely manifest as PNS symptoms. Autonomic symptoms, therefore, may be overlooked in patients with cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: We described a 65-year-old Japanese man who was diagnosed with autonomic PNS due to small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 3, who suffered from orthostatic hypotension, and urinary retention needing a urethral balloon. Laboratory studies showed decreased levels of noradrenaline, and were positive for anti-ganglionic acetylcholine receptor antibody, type 1 antineuronal nuclear antibody, and sry-like high mobility group box 1 antibody. Nerve conduction evaluations and
conclusionsIntegrated treatment for autonomic PNS may improve autonomic symptoms and ECOG performance status of patients with cancer.
