1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report the case of a man in his mid-80s with diabetes mellitus who presented to the emergency department with a 1-day history of right-sided choreiform movements and falls. Laboratory tests revealed blood glucose of 597 mg/dL. Non-contrast CT imaging of his head demonstrated a faint hyperdensity involving the left lentiform nucleus and brain MRI showed a hyperintensity in the left basal ganglia on T1-weighted images. These lesions are typical of diabetic striatopathy. Symptoms of hemichorea/hemiballismus did not resolve with glycaemic control and several pharmacological agents were tried with eventual improvement with risperidone. He was discharged to a rehabilitation facility and had mild persistent arm chorea at 6-month follow-up.
