A Rare Case of Opsoclonus Myoclonus Ataxia Syndrome Post Viral Illness.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare inflammatory neurological disorder characterized by ocular, motor, behavioral, language, and sleep disturbances. It usually affects infants and young children but may affect adults. A 28-year-old male was brought to our emergency ward with complaints of involuntary spontaneous eye movements and jerky movements of limbs with imbalance while walking. He had a history of short febrile illness 10 days prior. His magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, and other routine investigations were normal. The patient was treated with injectable methylprednisolone (1 g) given for five days along with other supportive therapy. A significant reduction in the opsoclonus, myoclonus, and ataxia was seen on a six-month follow-up. OMAS should be identified early to avoid the use of inappropriate medications, and immunotherapy must be provided as early as possible in order to prevent irreversible neurological damage.
