Medical Case Report on Repeat Treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome with Intravenous Infusion of Iron.
Article in Case reports in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a debilitating neurological disorder for which a range of medical interventions with varied efficacy has been employed. Based on evidence of iron deficiency in the substantia nigra of the midbrain, there are reports of substantial benefits from intravenous iron infusion. This case report demonstrates a strong statistically significant negative correlation between serum ferritin and RLS severity of symptoms in a subject with RLS who received 2 intravenous infusions of ferric carboxymaltose over a period of 464 days. The results provide further evidence to support the treatment strategy.
