Stiff-person syndrome with paraneoplastic neurological syndrome: a case report and literature review.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundStiff-person syndrome (SPS) manifests by progressive rigidity along with muscle spasms that affect the axial and limb muscles. First discovered in 1956, significant progress has been made in its clinical characterization, comprehension of pathogenesis, as well as effective treatment therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year old female patient presented with a 2-year history of progressive stiffness along with painful spasms in both legs, with her condition worsening over the previous year making it considerably difficult for her to stand and walk. Here, we report a Stiff-person syndrome patient (SPS) with lung adenocarcinoma who was positive for anti-glutamate decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibodies. Treatment with hormones and gamma-globulin improved her symptoms. In addition, we present a literature review of SPS patients with tumors.
conclusionsThe diagnosis of autoimmune SPS was on the basis of clinical, electrophysiological, as well as immunological findings. Early SPS detection is critical to preventing long-term disability.
