Concomitant reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome and transient global amnesia.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a common cause of thunderclap headache (TCH), mainly recurrent, sometimes associated with seizures and/or neurological deficit. Association with amnesia is exceptional. We report a case series of RCVS concomitant with transient global amnesia (TGA) and propose pathophysiologic hypotheses.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed clinical and radiological features of patients diagnosed with confirmed concomitant RCVS and TGA between 2012 and 2018 in two specialized institutions.
resultsTwo women aged 67 and 53, and a 64-year-old man had a first thunderclap headache triggered by an acute emotional stress, rapidly followed by TGA. Amnesia resolved within a few hours and RCVS was proven for all, with complete resolution of vasospasms within 3 months. All three patients had excellent outcome.
conclusionsRCVS and TGA can occur simultaneously, which suggests common mechanisms such as aberrant responses to physical or emotional stress and cerebral vasoconstriction.
