Steroid-Induced Hiccups in a Patient Managed for Pseudo Foster-Kennedy Syndrome: A Case Report of Good Outcome With the use of Gabapentin.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The use of IV methylprednisolone has been shown to be associated with some adverse effects. The most feared side effect is acute gastrointestinal perforation and accelerated hypertension particularly during pulse therapy. Hiccups occur less frequently but can cause high levels of discomfort to the patient. In intractable cases, respiratory arrest and death can occur. This article reports the occurrence of hiccups in a patient managed for pseudo Foster-Kennedy syndrome. The hiccups were observed shortly after IV methylprednisolone was administered to the patient and abetted over a period of one week after it was discontinued. Hiccups occur through the neuronal pathway of the hiccup reflex arc, comprising the vagus nerve, phrenic nerve, parts of the sympathetic nervous system (T6-T12), and efferent fibers from the phrenic nerve that supply the glottis and the accessory muscles of respiration. The hiccups resolved with the use of gabapentin. This case report aims to add to the existing body of knowledge of the efficacy of gabapentin in the management of hiccups.
