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
Background: Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (FHPP) is rare, so its management is essential to report. Case presentation: A 25-year-old Indonesian woman complained of feeling weak in both hands and legs, but the heaviest in both legs. The patient has several family members with similar complaints. The patient experienced decreased muscle strength in the upper extremity of 4/4 and the lower extremity of 3/3. Laboratory investigation showed potassium of 2.0 mmol/L, and the patient was given KCL of 50 mEq/24 hours, KSR of 3 × 600 mg/24 hours for 3 days, and a high potassium diet. The next few days, potassium levels increased, and the patient was treated as an outpatient. Discussion: Early diagnosis and management of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) due to FHPP are very effective in low-resource settings. Conclusion: Finding the cause of AFP is essential for better management.
