Adult-Onset Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy Without Adrenal Gland Involvement.
Article in Cureus, 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
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a metabolic disorder characterized by endocrine and neurological degeneration. A rare and variegated entity in adults, diagnosis is often a significant challenge and can lead to extensive testing, including invasive procedures if clinical suspicion is not high. We present the case of a 46-year-old-male with neurological dysfunction that is uncommon in X-ALD with preserved adrenocortical function. Initially misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the patient faced a significant neurological and cognitive decline in a short follow-up time frame, ultimately losing meaningful independent function. Emphasis is placed on criteria for appropriate discernment based on imaging studies and previous literature data. We also highlight the value of shared decision making to maximize the quality of life in such advanced stage neurodegenerative disorders.
