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

Thalamic astasia (TA) is a condition characterized by difficulty maintaining an upright posture due to a unilateral lesion in the thalamus. Motor paralysis, sensory disturbances, and ataxia are typically absent or mild. While vestibular dysfunction has been implicated in the onset of TA, a comprehensive evaluation strategy that considers vestibular function has yet to be established. In this report, we present a case of TA following a left thalamic infarction where the patient exhibited no abnormalities in their subjective vertical visual (SVV) function, which is often used as an indicator of vestibular function, and we discuss the potential utility of the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction and Balance (mCTSIB) in patients with TA.
