Clinical and Outcome Analysis in Head Injury Patients with Fahr's Disease.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery. 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
contextFahr's disease (FD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Head injury in patients with FD is an uncommon occurrence.
aimThe aim is to evaluate clinical and outcome characteristics in traumatic head injury patients with FD. SETTINGS AND
designRetrospective cohort study. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective cohort study includes 13 patients of FD presenting as head injury in neurosurgical emergency between September 2018 and February 2021. Each patient was evaluated in terms of demographic profile, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) at admission, severity of head injury, type of head injury, preexisting clinical features of FD, radiological findings, Glasgow outcome score (GOS), family history of FD, and biochemical abnormalities. Patients were also evaluated for dichotomized outcome (Good recovery: GOS 5-4 versus Poor recovery: GOS 1-3) and gender differences in FD presentation. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Fisher's exact test and unpaired
resultsNeurological symptoms (69.2%), neuropsychiatric manifestations (46.1%) and extrapyramidal features (38.5%) were preexisting in these patients. Seizure (61.5%) was the most common neurological manifestation. Depression (23.1%) and anxiety disorder (15.4%) were common psychiatric disorders seen. Akathisia (23.1%) followed by tremor (15.4%) were predominant extrapyramidal presentations. On dichotomized outcome analysis, preexisting neurological, neuropsychiatric, and extrapyramidal manifestations due to FD were not associated significantly with outcome following head injury. GCS at admission, severity of head injury and pupillary changes were significantly associated with outcome (
conclusionsNeurological features in FD predominate over neuropsychiatric and extrapyramidal symptoms. FD does not affect outcome following head injury.
