Perioperative Dystonia Mimicking Convulsion: Awareness Is the Key to Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Dystonia, a variant of acute extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), is a known side effect of neuroleptics. It is a rare but well-recognized complication in perioperative settings. Most of the reported cases have been linked to the perioperative use of metoclopramide. Dystonic reactions typically present as repetitive movements or abnormal posturing of the head, neck, and body. These reactions usually last only for a few minutes and are rarely lethal. However, occasionally they may present as sustained laryngopharyngeal muscle spasms, potentially leading to fatal airway obstruction. In this report, we present the case of an elderly female patient who developed a life-threatening episode of dystonia mimicking convulsion in the postoperative period. She had received metoclopramide as pre-anesthetic medication before surgery.
