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

Akinetopsia is a rare visual cortical disorder in which patients lose the ability to perceive motion. Visual cortical disorders are often misdiagnosed by most clinicians because they misinterpret the cause of visual dysfunction. Since akinetopsia was first described in 1911, only a handful of cases have been studied. Recent cases have demonstrated that it is not necessarily attributed only to vascular causes and neurodegenerative diseases but can also be induced through transcranial magnetic stimulation, and certain medications. This paper aims to review the etiology of akinetopsia in recent studies and provide a more holistic understanding of the disorder and its impact on patients' lives.
