A Case of Transient Global Amnesia Triggered by Sexual Intercourse.

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
Transient global amnesia (TGA) is described as a sudden onset of anterograde and retrograde amnesia. In this case report, we present a case of a 52-year-old man who came to our hospital experiencing sudden-onset confusion and memory loss an hour after engaging in sexual activity with his wife. Before this, the patient had no previous medical history. Four hours following the event, a non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan was performed and showed no signs of any intracranial pathology. In addition, T1-weighted and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed 13 hours following the incident and demonstrated punctate focus of restricted diffusion in the medial right temporal lobe in the region of the hippocampus. A diagnosis of transient global amnesia was made after other causes were ruled out. We present this rare case of transient global amnesia (TGA), highlighting sexual intercourse as a probable triggering component of the disease and demonstrating how crucial it is to rule out other severely morbid conditions before managing TGA.
