Thymoma-Related Stiff-Person Syndrome with Successfully Treated by Surgery.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionStiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder. Paraneoplastic SPS associated with malignant tumors such as thymoma occurs in approximately 5% of all SPS cases. We present a rare case of thymoma accompanied by SPS successfully treated using surgery. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 26-year-old woman presented with lower limbs convulsions and gait disturbance and complained of leg pain. Cerebrospinal fluid and blood test results showed a high level of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies. Computed tomography showed anterior mediastinal tumor suggestive of a thymoma. She underwent extended thymectomy, and her symptoms gradually improved after surgery. No evidence of recurrent thymoma and SPS has been observed over 44 months.
conclusionSurgical treatment would be effective for patients with SPS and thymoma.
