The Association between Intracranial Calcifications and Symptoms in Patients with Primary Familial Brain Calcification.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
(1) Background: Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by bilateral calcifications of the basal ganglia and other intracranial areas. Many patients experience symptoms of motor dysfunction and cognitive disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the amount and location of intracranial calcifications with these symptoms. (2) Methods: Patients with suspected PFBC referred to our outpatient clinic underwent a clinical work-up. Intracranial calcifications were visualized on Computed Tomography (CT), and a Total Calcification Score (TCS) was constructed. Logistic and linear regression models were performed. (3) Results: Fifty patients with PFBC were included in this study (median age 64.0 years, 50% women). Of the forty-one symptomatic patients (82.0%), 78.8% showed motor dysfunction, and 70.7% showed cognitive disorders. In multivariate analysis, the TCS was associated with bradykinesia/hypokinesia (OR 1.07, 95%-CI 1.02-1.12,
