Outpatient Rehabilitation of a Patient with Functional Neurological Disorder Receiving Workers' Compensation Benefits: A Case Report.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 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
Background: Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a clinical syndrome characterized by abnormal involuntary movements and specific clinical features that are incongruent with known neurologic diseases. Clinical information is lacking on outpatient rehabilitation for patients with FND. Case: A 28-year-old woman visited our hospital for gait disturbance. She had experienced an occupational accident 20 months earlier. Her injuries were relatively minor, but subsequently, she was unable to move her ankle voluntarily and began receiving workers' compensation benefits. The patient had persistent gait disturbance and preferred to walk with an ankle-foot orthosis. However, at her first visit, her ankle could move while walking without her ankle brace. Nerve conduction studies showed no abnormalities. Shortly after receiving an explanation regarding the diagnosis of FND, the patient was able to move her ankle voluntarily; however, her gait disturbance was partially persistent. After outpatient rehabilitation, she was able to walk in different types of footwear without an ankle brace. Satisfied with the result, she agreed to end rehabilitation and her access to workers' compensation. Discussion: After diagnosis and rehabilitation for FND following an occupational injury, our patient was eventually able to walk without an ankle brace. In this case, providing the patient with information regarding a diagnosis of FND and obtaining her informed consent for subsequent rehabilitation may have helped to improve the symptoms of FND.
