Camptocormia, a Rare Complication of Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Camptocormia (bent spine syndrome) is a rare complication after hemorrhagic stroke. It is a disabling, acquired postural abnormality that has a significant impact on a patient's physical function and quality of life and is more often seen in patients with Parkinson's disease. Treatment strategies pertaining to this condition can be broadly divided into invasive which involved deep brain stimulation and spinal fixation operation versus non-invasive approaches like physiotherapy, orthosis and drugs. However, most of the treatments described in the past are mainly for Parkinson's patients with camptocormia, and none are for camptocormia from hemorrhagic stroke. We report a rare case of camptocormia in a posthemorrhagic stroke patient whose rehabilitation progress was greatly impeded by this axial postural deformity and who responded well to Madopar treatment with an improvement in total camptocormia angle from 90 degrees to about 30 degrees, which translated to an improvement in physical function and reduction in care burden.
