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

Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare paraneoplastic neurological disorder that is usually associated with breast cancer or small-cell lung carcinoma. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with anti-Ri antibody-positive OMS, in whom no malignancy was initially identified. Thirty months later, carcinoma of an unknown primary tumor with supraclavicular and liver metastases was diagnosed. Neurological symptoms remained stable with immunosuppressive therapy, but the overall outcome was poor owing to progressive malignancy. This case underscores the fact that neurological stability does not necessarily equate to a favorable prognosis, and highlights the need for long-term surveillance in cases involving paraneoplastic syndromes.
