Bilateral Cerebral Calcifications in Secondary Fahr's Syndrome.

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, slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by bilateral cerebral calcifications, mostly in the basal ganglia. These cerebral calcifications are composed of calcium and phosphate and are the result of disturbances in calcium-phosphate homeostasis. The clinical manifestations include neurological, neurocognitive and psychiatric symptoms. This article describes three rare cases of pronounced bilateral cerebral calcifications. All three patients were admitted to the hospital due to a first-time epileptic seizure. In all three cases, laboratory tests showed significant hypocalcaemia, and cerebral computed tomography showed pronounced bilateral cerebral calcifications in various brain areas. After calcium substitution and anticonvulsant treatment, the patients returned to their prehospital condition and were discharged home seizure free. The aim of this article is to highlight the clinical importance of long-term follow-up biochemical laboratory testing and neurocranial imaging in high-risk patients (e.g., after thyroidectomy) to prevent avoidable neurological and psychiatric complications through pharmaceutical and nutritional substitution therapy.
