Agraphia: Presenting Feature of Syndrome of Transient Headache and Neurological Deficits With Cerebrospinal Fluid Lymphocytosis (HaNDL).
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a case of a 48-year-old man with a history of episodes of severe headache, accompanied by motor aphasia and agraphia, with complete recovery between episodes. The neurological examination revealed no abnormality. A lumbar puncture was performed and showed lymphocytic pleocytosis. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis ruled out viral, bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, treponemal, and NMDA receptor antibodies. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalogram revealed no abnormalities. A focal frontotemporal area of hypoperfusion was detected in brain single-photon emission tomography. A diagnosis of syndrome of transient headache and neurological deficits with cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis (HaNDL) was made to the patient and then treated with ibuprofen 400 mg three times per day with excellent response. He remained asymptomatic and free of any relapse during six months of following. We presented a typical case of HaNDL that manifests with agraphia, a transient focal neurological deficit non previously reported. Showing that the clinical picture could probably be any sign and symptom related to focal cortical alteration due to cortical transient hypoperfusion.
