Successful Treatment of Catatonia: A Case Report and Review of Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Herein, we report the case of a 20-year-old Caucasian male with a previous psychiatric history of schizophreniform, autism, unspecified intellectual disorder, and past medical history of hypertension, who presented after a suicidal attempt. One month prior to admission for the suicidal attempt, the patient had mutism. While admitted, the patient showed signs of mutism, posturing, negativism, and waxy flexibility. Treatment with both aripiprazole and lorazepam was effective and reversed the patient's catatonia after low-dose titration. This case highlights the importance of reviewing patient history and presenting symptoms in the management of catatonia. Additionally, this case provides an opportunity to review the diagnostic approach and treatment type used for patients presenting with catatonia.
