Progressive Neuronal Degeneration Leading to Impaired Motor Function: A Case of Alcohol-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Alcoholic peripheral neuropathy involves degeneration of the peripheral motor neurons, typically in the lower extremities, accompanied by painful sensations and impairments in gait as a direct result of alcohol's toxicity on the nervous system. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and many factors, such as use history, comorbidities, lifestyle, and family history, determine the disease course and success of treatment. Laboratory values include deficiencies in many key nutrients for neuron health, including vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B12, and folic acid. Here, we discuss a case of a 31-year-old female patient who presented with symptoms of severe peripheral neuropathy, including paresthesias, pain, burning, and gait impairment, as a result of years of alcohol use. Following a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy, complete alcohol cessation and symptom management are indicated as treatment. The patient's regimen includes a multifactorial, supportive approach with neuropathic, opioid, and anti-inflammatory medications in addition to physical therapy and lifestyle changes to keep a stable baseline.
