1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is an acute reaction to thiamine deficiency, which presents with the classic triad of ocular findings, cerebellar dysfunction, and confusion. However, thiamine deficiency can also present with several neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms other than the classical triad. We report a patient who presented with catatonia as a presenting feature of WE. The objective of this report is to recognize the presentation of catatonia in WE. Some cases of WE are missed by physicians; therefore, a high index of suspicion and appropriate investigations depending on presentation and clinical condition can result in prompt diagnosis and early management.
