Basal ganglia calcification: a Fahr's disease case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC), known as Fahr's disease, is a rare neurological disorder characterized by metabolic, biochemical, neuroradiological and neuropsychiatric alterations caused by symmetrical and bilateral intracranial calcifications. The disease has, in most cases, an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and genetic heterogeneity. Overlap of neuropsychiatric symptoms is common with movement disorders accounted for 55% of the manifestation. Here we present the case of a 58-year-old woman, presenting to the emergency department because of an accidental fall. Her past medical history was unremarkable and she denied any neurological symptoms a part from insomnia and anxiety. Patient was sent to the emergency department to perform a Brain Computed Tomography (CT) exam that showed bilateral symmetrical calcifications in cerebellar white matter, the corpus striatum, the posterior thalami, and the centrum semiovale of both cerebral hemispheres. Beeing a case of IBGC without relevant symptoms, diagnosis was mainly obtained thanks to the characteristics features of CT examination.
