Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: A Rare Case of Isolated Brainstem Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 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
Before 2006, neuromyelitis optica was hallmarked by optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. However, with the discovery of antibodies to water channel aquaporin-4 as a diagnostic criterion, our clinical knowledge of the disease manifested in the creation of new pathologies that fell under the diagnostic umbrella of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Still, brain involvement of the disease has remained rare, in particular, lesions of the brain stem. Specific to our report is a novel case of NMOSD with intriguing, isolated brainstem findings.
