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
Pupil palsy has been a frequent finding in Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), but its clinical characteristics have not been clearly defined. The basis for differential diagnosis with other diseases with pupil palsy has also remained vague. We report cases of four MFS patients with bilateral pupil palsy and specify pupil characteristics of light-near dissociation (LND), cholinergic super-sensitivity, vermiform movements, and prognosis. We conducted a literature review to compare with our cases and investigate common findings of pupil palsy in MFS patients. We suggest that the acute generalized pupil palsy without vermiform movements can serve as a key finding for the diagnosis of pupil palsy associated with MFS. However, the presence of LND and cholinergic super-sensitivity was not distinctive clinical findings in MFS patients who had pupil palsy and did not prove useful for differential diagnosis. The prognosis of pupil palsy in MFS patients was good in our 4 cases and the literature review.
