Primary Periodic Paralyses: A Review of Etiologies and Their Pathogeneses.
Review in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Periodic paralyses are a group of disorders characterized by episodes of muscle paralyses. They are mainly divided as primary (hereditary) and secondary (acquired) periodic paralyses. Primary periodic paralyses occur as a result of mutations in genes encoding subunits of muscle membrane channel proteins such as sodium, calcium, and potassium channels, resulting in impairment of their properties. Primary periodic paralyses are further classified on the basis of affected ion channels and other associated complications. Some of these periodic paralyses are hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (Na-channel mutation), hypokalemic periodic paralysis (Na- or Ca-channel mutation), Andersen's syndrome (K-channel mutation), etc.
