Neuroscience of consciousness in the locked-in syndrome: Prognostic and diagnostic review.
Article in Ibrain, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The neurological illness known as a locked-in syndrome is brought on by damage to the brainstem, usually as a consequence of a stroke. It is characterized by total paralysis with intact consciousness and cognitive capacity. The subjective experiences of people with locked-in syndrome are poorly understood. Presently, there is no systematic evaluation developed to describe them. The most compelling resources come from individuals' own words; however, only a small fraction of these accounts have been explored. When it comes to bioethics, locked-in syndrome protocols are almost completely absent. Investigations on how people with this condition feel about their sense of continuity are of importance. Utilizing the locked-in syndrome to pose questions on embodied cognition and levels of consciousness could serve as a lens through which to examine problems in the phenomenology of neuroparalysis and communication. Care and quality of patients' lives might be improved by an effort to understand this condition better, and ontological questions like "what makes a person a person?," "what makes a person appear in continuity?," and "what are the dynamics of embodiment and intersubjectivity?" might be better explored through that lens. This article aims to explore some biomedical factors that contribute to locked-in syndrome and offers some prognostic and diagnostic recommendations for this rare condition.
