Lance Adams syndrome: two cases report and literature review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Hypoxic myoclonus, also known as Lance Adams syndrome, is a rare syndrome that results from the serious brain damage caused by cerebral hypoxia that often follows cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This current case report describes two patients with post-hypoxic myoclonus, both of whom received cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The neurological symptoms of these two patients were significantly improved by the administration of clonazepam and sodium valproate sustained-release tablets. The report presents a literature review detailing the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of Lance Adams syndrome. The timely diagnosis and treatment of Lance Adams syndrome can significantly improve the quality of life of patients. Valproic acid, clonazepam and other antiepileptic drugs can be used. Whether levetiracetam is effective for cortical myoclonus requires further clinical study.
