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

Introduction: Alien hand syndrome (AHS) is a rare apraxia syndrome that may arise from several neurological disorders including stroke. Given the uncommon symptoms, stroke with AHS as its main manifestation often results in diagnostic challenges and treatment delays. Case presentation: We herein presented a case of post-stroke AHS caused by corpus callosum infarction. We prescribed him aspirin, clopidogrel, atorvastatin and memantine, and his AHS was remitted completely within 8 days. Conclusion: AHS is a rare manifestation of cerebral infarction that is generally reversible. Rapid identification of post-stroke AHS and early initiation of treatment are important to improve patient's prognosis.
