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

Catatonia, a neuropsychiatric syndrome, has been increasingly recognized as a possible complication of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). There is limited research surrounding catatonia and its sequelae in PWS. Given the scarcity and severity of catatonia in pediatric age, there is a need to expand on the available literature. We present a case of hyperactive catatonia in an adolescent with PWS. After obtaining a thorough history, we followed her progression from motor symptoms to developing psychotic features. Although her presentation required multiple doses of lorazepam, it was shown to be consistently effective in treating her catatonia during her hospital stay.
