1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease that usually develops after the sixth decade of life, and the diagnosis is purely clinical except in cases of pathologically confirmed autopsies. A multidisciplinary approach to meet the patients' complex needs is the current core treatment strategy for this devastating disorder. No medications can reverse the disease course. In this report, we present a case of PSP that developed after the sixth decade of life and where the diagnosis was supported by clinical and neuroimaging data. Despite the fact that PSP is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder and no effective treatments are currently available, our case illustrates the clinically significant improvement in cognition and function achieved in a patient with a treatment involving a combination of antidepressant medications and rivastigmine.
