A case report: Lateral medullary syndrome with facial nerve palsy and hemiparesis.

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
Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is the most common and severe neurological syndrome associated with atherothrombotic occlusion of the intracranial vertebral artery, followed by posterior inferior cerebellar artery and medullary artery occlusion. It presents as a typical triad of oculosympathetic palsy (Horner's syndrome), ipsilateral gait ataxia, and hypoalgesia with ipsilateral thermoanesthesia of the face. In LMS, the upper motor neuron facial palsy is caused by the involvement of aberrant supranuclear fibers of the facial nerve. The caudal extension of the infarction to the pyramidal tracts may explain contralateral hemiparesis. Here, we have discussed a 42-year-old non-diabetic, hypertensive male with LMS, hemiparesis, and left UMN-type facial palsy. We reported this case because developing nations, have few tertiary level health facilities for neurological examination, and non-neurologists often miss the diagnosis; therefore, the characteristics must be known and understood.
