Functional impairments in NBIA patients: Preliminary results.
Article in Intractable & rare diseases research, 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
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a heterogeneous group (genetically and phenotypically) of genetically determined disorders. Up to date there is no cure for this disease, so the applied treatments focus on symptoms control and palliative care. The main problems are delayed motor development, gait deterioration, postural instability, cognitive dysfunctions, abnormal muscle tone and many others. As gait and balance deficits are predominant features of NBIA patients this study aimed at the use of the objective, instrumented functional tests as well as functional assessment scales to assess their functional impairments. Twenty three NBIA patients recruited for the study underwent objective, instrumented gait analysis, balance assessment, pedobarography and functional evaluation with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88). The results showed high variability and heterogeneity of NBIA functional status (GMFM from 27.5 to 100.0), but also showed some differences in gait pattern between their types (
