Oculopharyngeal Muscular Dystrophy: A Case Report From Puerto Rico.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a late-onset inherited skeletal myopathy. The diagnosis is based on a clinical presentation of blepharoptosis, dysphagia, and a positive family history of the disease in patients past 40 years of age. A 57-year-old male patient presented with ptosis without lid crease, adult-onset dysphagia, and bilateral pseudophakia. The patient underwent ptosis repair of upper eyelids via frontalis slings with silicone rods. His mother was subsequently found to have ptosis, dry eyes, and anorexia due to dysphagia, thus suggesting a probable family history. Based on the comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation, and based on his ptosis, dysphagia, and family history, the patient was diagnosed with OPMD.
