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

We report a case of an isolated bilateral corpus callosum stroke (body and splenium) who exhibited Balint syndrome (optic ataxia, simultanagnosia, optic apraxia), along with a partial Gerstmann syndrome (left/right disorientation, acalculia, finger agnosia), with extinction to double simultaneous stimulation and astereognosis without direct involvements of the parietal lobes. We review the vascular anatomy of the corpus callosum, mechanisms and risk factors for stroke in this area, and the components of Balint syndrome and localization, with descriptions of recent data on neural networks involved in higher-level cortical function. Attention to the visual-spatial symptoms of Balint syndrome is important to consider when evaluating and treating patients with ischemic disease of the corpus callosum.
