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
Background: Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a syndrome characterized by episodic tachycardia, tachypnea, hypertension, fever, sweating, pupillary dilatation, and dystonic postures. Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of PSH; however, its occurrence following basilar artery (BA) dissection has not been reported. Case Presentation: A previously healthy 23-year-old man was found unresponsive and was transported with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 11. Imaging studies revealed an acute ischemic stroke attributable to BA dissection. Magnetic resonance imaging showed progressive lesions involving the bilateral thalami, occipital lobes, cerebellar hemispheres, vermis, midbrain, pons, and periaqueductal gray. On the 8th day after admission, he developed PSH symptoms, which subsided after medical treatment. Conclusion: A case of PSH following BA dissociation is reported. The ischemic lesions presented here indicate the essential anatomical location causing PSH. Early treatment is warranted, recognizing that PSH could be an adverse event following BA dissection.
