Atypical presentation of progressive young onset dementia.
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 2 papers.
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
We present the case of a 34-year-old Jordanian woman who was referred to mainstream mental health services because of irritability, agitation, loss of appetite, withdrawal from family activities and sleeping difficulties. She was initially diagnosed with major depressive disorder but subsequently showed very poor response to antidepressant therapy. Her presentation gradually and dramatically progressed into full blown dementia within couple of years. Brain MRI showed atrophic cortical changes and subcortical white matter alterations consistent with Alzheimer's dementia. Brain PET scan revealed reduction in cerebral glucose metabolism in temporoparietal areas bilaterally most consistent with Alzheimer's dementia. There was a strong family history of early-onset dementia. A final diagnosis of young onset dementia was made, and unfortunately, she passed away at the age of 44 years.
