Apperceptive Prosopagnosia Secondary to an Ischemic Infarct of the Lingual Gyrus: A Case Report and an Update on the Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology, and Phenomenology of Prosopagnosia.
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
Phenomenology is the philosophical study of experience and its core feature of sentience, the very ability to be conscious of a sensation and how we perceive it. Nowhere is this idea more vivid, as in the phenomenon of vision and the ability to form and sense a visual percept. The clinical entity of prosopagnosia, the ability to sense but not recognize a face, strikes at the heart of this phenomenon. We describe a classic case of selective apperceptive prosopagnosia due to an ischemic infarct of the left occipital lobe with extension to the lingual gyrus. It is well-established that acquired prosopagnosia usually involves the right more than the left occipital cortex, with localization of lesions bilaterally more than unilaterally. The ischemic infarcts strategically involve the fusiform gyrus, inferior occipital gyrus, the fundus of the posterior temporal sulcus, parahippocampal gyrus, and, rarely, lingual gyrus, which is almost always not a solitary finding. We seize upon this opportunity to explore the concept of visual prosopagnosia and outline the latest ideas on the neuroanatomical localization, neurophysiology, and classification of this intriguing phenomenon.
