Opalski Syndrome: An Intricate Case of Lateral Medullary Infarction With Unconventional Neurological Features and Diagnostic Challenges.
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
Opalski syndrome is a rare variant of Wallenberg syndrome characterized by ipsilateral hemiparesis. We present a case involving a 50-year-old male who exhibited symptoms of right-sided upper and lower limb weakness, dizziness, and ataxia. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified an infarction in the right lateral medulla. This case displayed several unique and atypical features, including the negative Babinski sign, absence of dysphagia, and dysarthria. The diagnosis was confirmed through meticulous clinical examination and advanced radiological investigations, such as MRI. This case report underscores the critical importance of thorough clinical evaluation and the correlation of findings with radiological investigations to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with Opalski syndrome.
