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 herein report a rare case of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) that initially presented as progressive fluent aphasia and echolalia. A 75-year-old woman exhibited significant language impairments for 2 years before developing motor symptoms, including vertical gaze palsy and frequent falls. Neuroimaging revealed asymmetric frontal and midbrain atrophy, with reduced perfusion in the left frontal and parietal lobes. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical PSP presentations, particularly language-dominant variants that may mimic other neurodegenerative disorders. Early identification using detailed neuropsychological assessments and imaging may facilitate a timely diagnosis and intervention in non-classical PSP cases.
