A Case Report of Abdominal Myoclonus Following Anterior Cerebral Artery Stroke.

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
Background: Post-stroke movement disorders are rare. Abdominal myoclonus following anterior cerebral artery (ACA) infarction has not been previously reported. Case report: A 75-year-old man presented with acute right-sided weakness and involuntary, rhythmic contractions of the abdominal muscles. Imaging revealed an acute left ACA infarction involving the precentral gyrus. Scalp electroencephalography (EEG) showed no epileptiform discharges. Other secondary causes of myoclonus were ruled out. Abdominal myoclonus resolved after intravenous levetiracetam. Discussion: This case highlights cortical abdominal myoclonus as a rare manifestation of ACA ischemic stroke. Epileptiform abnormalities on EEG are often not found. Treatment with an antiepileptic medication may resolve the myoclonus.
