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

Narcolepsy type 1 is a clinical syndrome defined by recurrent episodes of excessive daytime sleepiness, episodes of cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Symptoms typically manifest in the second or third decade with another small peak in the fourth decade. In this report we describe the case of a 64-year-old female presenting with new-onset visual hallucinations as the main complaint. Eventually diagnosis of narcolepsy type 1 was confirmed by determination of orexin levels (hypocretin-1) on cerebrospinal fluid. This case illustrates that age of onset of narcolepsy type 1 can be as late as the sixth decade in life and that narcolepsy type 1 should be considered as a possible though rare diagnosis in older adults presenting with new onset neuropsychiatric symptoms like visual hallucinations.
