Fahr's Syndrome Presenting As Pre-senile Dementia With Behavioral Abnormalities: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by bilateral basal ganglia calcification. Calcification may also involve other brain areas like dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, thalamus, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and subcortical white matter. Many cases of Fahr's syndrome present with movement disorders, but may also present with dementia, psychiatric manifestations, and language difficulties. Fahr's syndrome generally occurs secondary to metabolic abnormality mainly hypoparathyroidism. Fahr's disease is another variant that is characterized by idiopathic bilateral calcification of basal ganglia in absence of any evident etiology. The present case report presented a rare case of Fahr's syndrome secondary to hypoparathyroidism presenting with pre-senile dementia with behavioral abnormalities.
