Urinary incontinence as a main clinical manifestation of early stage Wernicke's encephalopathy: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. 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
Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin B1. While there have been many reported cases of WE in the literature, there are few reports on the early stages of the disorder. In this report, we present a case of WE with urinary incontinence as the main clinical manifestation. A 62-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to intestinal obstruction and did not receive vitamin B1 supplements for 10 days. Three days after her operation, she developed urinary incontinence. She also had mild mental symptoms, such as a little indifference. After consultation with a urologist and neurologist, the patient was immediately given intramuscular vitamin B1 at a dosage of 200 mg/day. After 3 days of supplementing with vitamin B1, her urinary incontinence and mental symptoms improved and were completely resolved after 7 days of treatment. Surgeons should be aware that when long-term fasting patients have urinary incontinence, it may be a symptom of WE, and they should be supplied with vitamin B1 in a timely manner without extensive examination.
