Fahr's syndrome: Evaluation of bilateral basal ganglia and calcifications in other brain regions: A report of 3 cases.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by abnormal intracranial calcifications, most commonly affecting the basal ganglia. We report 3 cases-2 females aged 71 and 72, and 1 male aged 47-who were incidentally found to have bilateral basal ganglia calcifications on brain CT-scans. The first patient had a history of total thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy; the second had prior psychiatric illness and was evaluated after a motor vehicle accident; the third was undergoing chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma and presented with generalized weakness. Stroke was excluded in all cases, and each patient was discharged in stable condition. These cases highlight the importance of neuroimaging in identifying Fahr's syndrome, especially in atypical presentations, and underscore the need for thorough metabolic and clinical evaluation to guide diagnosis and management.
