Acute Drug-Induced Symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome in an Emergency Department.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
abstractRestless legs syndrome is a chronic disorder that is characterized by an urge to move the legs and unpleasant sensations in the lower extremities. Its symptoms develop slowly and a sudden onset is very unusual, which may be confusing for the emergency physician. We describe a case of an abrupt presentation of restless legs syndrome symptoms induced by infusion of metoclopramide during treatment of a migraine attack in settings of an emergency department. The patient shortly after infusion of metoclopramide started to experience rapid movements of the legs, claiming that it was the only way to relieve extremely unpleasant sensations in her legs. The symptoms subsided after saline infusion and did not appear again.
