Acute psychomotor agitation - challenges for psychiatrists and neurologists: a case study.
Article in Postepy psychiatrii neurologii, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 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
Purpose: Bilateral thalamic ischemia can, paradoxically, manifest itself with various non-sensory clinical symptoms, thereby complicating diagnosis. Case description: A 59-year-old woman was admitted to an Emergency Department about and hour and a half after she was found with altered mental status. Her initial symptoms were psychomotor agitation and slight confusion. No evident focal neurological deficit was observed at that time and computed tomography was negative. After acute drug intoxication was excluded, a transfer to a psychiatric unit was considered. Simultaneously, short stenosis of the left posterior cerebral artery was diagnosed with the use of computed tomography angiography. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral acute ischemia of the medial parts of the thalamus, and immediate thrombolysis and thrombectomy treatment was initiated. Both procedures were successful and the patient was discharged in good general condition. Comment: Psychomotor agitation may be an atypical manifestation of a bilateral thalamic ischemia. This may lead to misdiagnosis and reduce the likelihood of proper treatment.
