Polyneuropathy: A Rare and Challenging Presentation of Essential Mixed Cryoglobulinemia.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 49-year-old male presented with acute chronic sensory motor bilateral lower extremity polyneuropathy. Electromyography showed bilateral acute sensory motor axonal polyneuropathy. Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse bone marrow replacement and bilateral ankylosing spondylitis. Laboratory workup revealed elevated inflammatory markers and low G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) level. Due to elevated acute phase reactants, inflammatory polyneuropathy was suspected; patient was treated accordingly with resolution of neuropathy. Three months later, he relapsed and presented with disabling polyneuropathy and renal impairment, which prompted renal biopsy. Renal histopathology revealed the, otherwise mysterious, etiology, essential mixed cryoglobulinemia. Essential mixed cryoglobulinemia was not considered initially due to the absence of classic systemic manifestations of autoimmune disorders.
