Misdiagnosis: Hypoglossal palsy mimicking bulbar onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Article in eNeurologicalSci, 2019. 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
Bulbar onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (bALS) is a currently incurable neurodegenerative condition characterized by insidious progression of bulbar muscle paresis; namely dyspnea, dysarthria, and dysphagia. The diagnosis of bALS requires exclusion of mimicking pathologies as the diagnosis of bALS may have significant implications on patients' quality of life, future planning, and familial/social dynamics. Herein we present two cases which were misdiagnosed as bALS when in fact a structural lesion of the hypoglossal nerve was causative. This article may serve as a reminder to entertain alternative diagnoses prior to arriving at a diagnosis of bALS.
