A longitudinal
Article in Journal of neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPathogenic prion protein may start to deposit in some brain regions and cause functional alterations in the asymptomatic stage in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The study aims to determine the trajectory of the brain metabolic changes for prion protein diseases at the preclinical stage.
methodsAt baseline, we enrolled five asymptomatic PRNP G114V mutation carriers, six affected genetic PRNP E200K CJD patients and 23 normal controls. All participants completed clinical, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and
resultsAt baseline, DWI signals, the cerebral glucose standardized uptake value rate ratio (SUVR) and clinical status in 5 asymptomatic cases were normal. At the follow-up period, mild hypometabolism on PET images was found in asymptomatic carriers without any DWI abnormal signal. Further group quantitatively analysis showed hypometabolic brain regions in the asymptomatic genetic CJD group were in the insula, frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes in 4-year follow-up. The SUVR changing trajectories of all asymptomatic cases were within the range between the normal controls and affected patients. Notably, the SUVR of one asymptomatic individual whose baseline age was older showed a rapid decline at the last follow-up.
conclusionsOur study illustrates that the neurodegenerative process associated with genetic CJD may initiate before the clinical presentation of the disease.
