Fahr's Disease With Late Onset: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Fahr's disease is a rare genetically dominant disease. It is characterized by the idiopathic deposition of calcium in the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. The condition may cause motor impairment, impaired muscle tone, dementia, seizures, impairment of eye movements, speech, abnormal hand movements, cognitive impairment, and ataxia. The thalamus, white matter, and basal ganglia can be involved. A 77-year-old man with multiple comorbidities presented with a complaint of increasing confusion, altered mental status, dystonia, tremor, and hallucinations. The patient's daughter reported that he sounded confused and inappropriate in his speech. A computerized tomography (CT) scan of the head without contrast revealed a "dense calcification of the dentate nuclei and the basal ganglia" and "subcortical calcification of the frontal and occipital lobes." The patient was diagnosed with late-onset Fahr's disease. Fahr's disease is caused by idiopathic calcification of the bilateral basal ganglia. A wide variety of symptoms are associated with this condition. Fahr's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis in geriatric patients suffering from cognitive impairment and movement disorders.
