Vitamin E--its role in neurological function.
Review in Postgraduate medical journal, 1986. 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
Studies in patients with abetalipoproteinaemia, other chronic and severe fat malabsorptive states and a selective defect in vitamin E absorption, together with neuropathological studies in the vitamin E deficient human, monkey and rat indicate that vitamin E is important for normal neurological function. Appropriate vitamin E supplementation is, therefore, advisable for all patients with chronic fat malabsorption who have low serum vitamin E concentrations. Serum vitamin E concentrations should also be measured in patients with spinocerebellar disorders, whatever the aetiology.
