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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to describe clinical findings in a 45-year-old man with history of two sided cataract surgery, convulsions and progressive memory impairment.
methodsThe patient presented to the neurology department because of having progressive memory impairment over the past two years. After taking necessary examinations the patient was referred to the endocrine center because of hypocalcemia in laboratory tests. Brain CT scan and MRI was also done.
resultsBrain CT scan of patient showed extensive and symmetric calcification of basal ganglia, thalami and cerebellum. On Brain MRI, abnormal signal foci in the both sided paraventricular regions, basal ganglia and cerebellar hemisphere were depicted. Laboratory investigations were notable for low serum calcium (5.4 mg/dl, reference range: 8.2-11.2), high serum phosphorus (7.6 mg/dl, reference range: 2.7-4.5), vitamin D deficiency (25-OH D3: 14.5 ng/ml) and low parathyroid hormone (IPTH: 3.7 pg/mL, reference range: 10-62).
conclusionsThis patient presented with amnesia which is a rare presentation of hypoparathyroidism.
