Uncontrollable movements of right upper and lower extremities in a child: A diagnostic puzzle.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 describe a case of a 9-year-old child who presented with uncontrollable, involuntary movements associated with a recent streptococcal infection and echocardiographic evidence of valvulitis. These findings are consistent with the diagnosis of Sydenham's chorea, a rare but important movement disorder and one of the major "Jones criteria" for the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever. Because of its rarity, patients with Sydenham's chorea often are misdiagnosed as having a behavioral or psychiatric illness. Early recognition and appropriate management can prevent the potential severe sequelae associated with acute rheumatic fever.
