Functional neurological symptoms masquerading as Wernicke encephalopathy following bariatric surgery.

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
Wernicke encephalopathy (WE), caused by thiamine deficiency, is classically associated with alcoholism but is increasingly recognized among patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. As with other neurocognitive conditions, alternative explanations for symptoms, such as psychiatric, neurological, and motivational factors, must be considered before arriving at a diagnosis of WE. We present a patient after sleeve gastrectomy who was presumed to have WE; after detailed neuropsychological assessment, the condition was better conceptualized as a conversion disorder. The case illustrates the heretofore unrecognized role of bariatric surgery in the development of functional symptoms and demonstrates the importance of neuropsychological assessment in detecting functional symptoms.
