Case Report: Transformation of Visual Snow Syndrome From Episodic to Chronic Associated With Acute Cerebellar Infarct.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Visual snow syndrome is a novel neurological condition characterized by a panfield visual disturbance associated with several additional symptoms. Although it is usually a continuous and primary disorder, cases of intermittent visual snow have been described in the literature, as well as rare secondary forms. This report is the first description of a case of intermittent visual snow syndrome, which transformed into a persistent form following a posterior circulation stroke due to vertebral artery dissection. At 1 and 2 years after experiencing the acute cerebellar infarct, the patient's only neurological sequalae was visual snow. This case provides a description of how visual snow syndrome may be caused by an underlying brain disorder, and highlights the importance of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of this relatively unknown condition. It further shows evidence of how existing predispositions might be relevant to the development of visual snow, in certain subjects and following specific circumstances.
