Psychiatric Manifestations in Fahr's Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological entity, primarily impacting basal ganglia with bilateral intracranial calcium deposition. It mainly manifests motor and psychiatric symptoms in affected individuals. After the patient and her family members' consent and proper ethical clearance from the institutional ethical committee, we here report a case presented with a few motor symptoms, features of delirium, and prominent psychiatric symptoms such as disorganized behavior, auditory hallucinations, and delusions. The imaging study found bilateral basal ganglia calcification and edema in the parietal region, primarily on the right side. Laboratory studies revealed mildly low parathyroid hormone and calcium levels, but no significant findings in other investigational tests. Her past medical and psychiatric history were negative, except for her well-adjusted pre-morbid personality. Our aim through this case is to highlight the psychiatric manifestation of a rare neurological syndrome. It also showcases the importance of ruling out medical causes when a patient presents primarily with behavioral symptoms.
