Behind the Mask of Parkinsonism: A Case Report and Literature Review on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
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
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative condition that typically emerges in adulthood and does not exhibit any familial inheritance pattern. PSP is characterized by gradual stiffness in the central body, an inability to move the gaze upward voluntarily, postural instability, and a decline in cognitive function linked to frontal lobe dysfunction. Clinical assessment reveals a variety of findings, and cases of PSP frequently go unnoticed or are incorrectly diagnosed as other conditions. Notably, prominent neurotransmitter-related changes in PSP involve damage to the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway and cholinergic impairment in multiple regions. We hereby present a case of a 71-year-old female patient whose medical journey unfolds as a perplexing riddle. Despite the collective expertise of several physicians, she found herself bearing the weight of a misdiagnosis ascribed to Parkinson's Disease (PD) erroneously. She initially presented with recurring falls due to postural instability and bradykinesia, which progressed such that she became dependent on a walking aid. A comprehensive physical examination revealed indicators consistent with PSP.
