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
introductionDelayed post-hypoxic leukencephalopathy is a rare cause of acute neuropsychiatric decline diagnosable in the emergency department (ED), but it has not been described in the emergency medical literature. We present a case report of a pathognomonic presentation. CASE REPORT: A 53-year-old man developed akinetic mutism 14 days after being discharged from a hospitalization for fentanyl overdose. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated symmetric frontoparietal white matter demyelination.
conclusionDelayed post-hypoxic leukencephalopathy can present to the ED as altered mental status days to weeks after apparent full recovery from an initial episode of cerebral hypoxia. This report will help emergency physicians avoid missing this diagnosis.
