A Rare Case of Fahr's Syndrome With Bilateral Vocal Cord Paresis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We will be discussing a very rare neurodegenerative disorder called Fahr's disease, which is characterized by calcifications in the basal ganglia and other brain regions. Our case describes a 54-year-old lady presenting with abnormal aggressive behavior. Interestingly, in our case, the patient later developed vocal cord paresis, of which only one similar case has been reported before. CT was done, which showed typical extensive diffuse calcifications of the basal ganglia and other brain regions. Her labs were significant for normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism. During her stay in the hospital, she developed vocal cord paresis. In this case, she was managed in a multidisciplinary approach by medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and ENT. She improved significantly and was eventually discharged from the hospital. The rarity of Fahr's disease and the atypical involvement of vocal cords made the management challenging; however, the multidisciplinary approach aided in achieving well-rounded patient care and clinical improvement.
