Opalski Syndrome and Elucidation of Lateral Medullary Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
In this case, a 61-year-old patient presented with Horner's syndrome of the left eye, left-sided truncal ataxia, left-sided pain/paresthesia of the face as well as right-sided loss of pain and temperature of the arms and legs. MRI findings displayed a clear 4 mm acute left lateral medullary infarct of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) vascular territory, indicative of lateral medullary syndrome (LMS). The presence of pre-existing medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, late-stage syphilis, and a mechanical aortic valve complicated this clinical picture. The presence of ipsilateral corticospinal deficits in this patient revealed Opalski syndrome, a rare variant of LMS. This case report highlighted the importance of correlating imaging and physical examination of stroke findings.
