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

Paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia is a paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS) that can be the first clinical manifestation of underlying cancer. It is usually associated with onco-neuronal antibodies and has no other specific paraclinical feature. After the surgical and oncologic treatment of the primary cancer, the remaining neurological symptoms have limited therapeutic options. We describe a case of severe ataxia as the primary manifestation of ovarian cancer, with a significant clinical and paraclinical improvement of the neurological symptoms after 20 sessions of rTMS intervention.
