Chronic Abdominal Myoclonus Controlled with Prednisone Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Abdominal myoclonus may manifest as involuntary, repetitive contractions of the abdominal wall due to a variety of neurologic pathologies. There are, however, limited cases reporting abdominal wall myoclonus without any clear neurologic etiologies. Here we present a case of a 72-year-old male with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and restless leg syndrome who presented with chronic, involuntary, repetitive contractions of his abdomen without any spinal or extremity involvement. His extensive neurologic and secondary systematic workup was negative, and he had a limited response to several different medication trials. The patient's abdominal myoclonus, however, was better controlled with the administration of prednisone.
