Article in Der Nervenarzt, 2020. 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
Restless legs syndrome (RLS), with a lifetime prevalence of up to 10%, is a frequent neurological disease and the most common movement disorder in sleep. A compulsive urge to move the legs with sensory symptoms and sleep disturbances can significantly impair the quality of life. Furthermore, RLS frequently occurs as a comorbidity to various internal and neurological diseases. It is diagnosed clinically based on the five essential diagnostic criteria. For treatment, an iron deficiency should first be excluded. Drugs approved for the treatment of RLS include dopaminergics (L-DOPA/benserazide) and dopamine agonists as well as oxycodone/naloxone, as a second-line treatment in severe cases. Augmentation as a deterioration of symptoms is a clinically defined complication of high-dose dopaminergic treatment, requiring special management strategies. Due to its high prevalence of up to 25%, RLS plays also an important role in the care of pregnant women.
