Critical Appraisal of Guidelines for Evaluation and Certification of Specified Neurological Disabilities.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
New disability law called "Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016" has been acted in 2016. The United Nations' Convention for Rights of Persons with Disabilities is the sole of this new act. Of the total 21 categories, three new neurological legal disability categories such as chronic neurological conditions, Parkinson disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis have been notified first time in the new act. The new guidelines have been notified in the year 2018 for evaluation and certification of specified disabilities. As a new addition in these guidelines, modified Rankin scale score has been added to measure locomotor disability of stroke. Certainly, newer guidelines have many lacunae also. There are no recommendations of any method of disability measurement associated with movement disorders such as PD, chronic neurological conditions such as migraine, epilepsy, and ataxia. The tables of older guidelines for disability calculation in conditions such as unconsciousness and epileptic fits have been removed in newer guidelines. Professional bodies should come into action immediately and do effort for rectifying these shortcomings and/or fallacies in new guidelines.
