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
The "Alice in Wonderland syndrome" (AIWS) is a neurological disorder characterized by altered body schema perception, visual, or somesthetic symptoms, which is frequently associated with migraine. In this article, we present the earliest known description of symptoms attributable to AIWS in the medical literature. During a lecture held on November 22, 1887, at the Salpêtrière, Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) examined a patient with somesthetic symptoms (partial macrosomatognosia) in the context of migraine with aura. Although this condition was not known at the time, Charcot tried to provide an accurate semiological and nosographic framework of this case, attributing the complex of symptoms to migraine with aura and epilepsy with sensory symptoms. With intellectual honesty and clinical prudence, Charcot correctly pointed to a disturbance in the excitability of cortical areas responsible for processing and perceiving sensory stimuli.
