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
Belly dancer's dyskinesia or syndrome is a rare condition characterized by involuntary, undulating, infrequent diaphragm movements. The etiologies for this disorder include nervous system disorders (peripheral or central), drug-induced, psychological, or idiopathic. This article describes a 10-year-old boy with an underlying psychological stressor who suddenly experienced involuntary abdominal wall movements after salbutamol nebulization. After a detailed history, physical examination, and abdominal ultrasound that revealed rapid rhythmic diaphragm movements, the child was diagnosed with salbutamol-induced belly dancer's dyskinesia with an underlying psychological problem. These movements subsided with medical and psychological therapy for two weeks. Belly dancer's dyskinesia is a complex disorder that is difficult to diagnose but can be managed with medical treatment and psychological counseling alone in a few patients. In contrast, in other cases, surgical intervention may be required. Keywords: case reports; dyskinesias; salbutamol.
