Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome in Children and Adolescents: A Therapeutic Challenge.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a neurological non-fatal disease that usually responds to immunotherapies. However, the real challenge is to counteract the high frequency of relapses and long-term developmental sequelae. Since the OMS is extremely rare, a common consensus regarding therapeutic guidelines is still lacking. The goals of this study were to test whether ACTH was superior to other immunotherapies and to investigate whether an early treatment could improve the outcome. Sixteen children affected by OMS were retrospectively reviewed. Eight children had a neuroblastic tumor. The other eight patients were affected by non-paraneoplastic OMS. Overall, the most commonly used treatment was corticotherapy (
