1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Functional neurological symptom disorder (FND) remains a clinical challenge. It is one of the many mimics of cerebrovascular accidents, spinal cord disorders, and lower motor neuron disease. Patients often undergo an extensive workup to exclude other causes of neurological dysfunction before the diagnosis is made. FND is often associated with weakness and paralysis, yet we could not locate a case depicting symptoms severe enough to cause venous thromboembolism. We present a patient diagnosed with FND who subsequently developed deep vein thromboses (DVT) of the bilateral lower extremities. She was placed on systemic anticoagulation and her functional symptoms improved with physical therapy (PT). This case describes the need for early PT to improve function and prevent complications related to functional immobility.
