Establishing Diagnostic and Differential Diagnostic Criteria for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Motor neuron disease (MND) represents a broad and heterogeneous group of disorders involving the upper or lower motor neurons, represented mainly by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) and progressive bulbar palsy (PBP). Primary motor neuronopathies are characterized by progressive degenerative loss of anterior horn cell motoneurons (lower motor neurons) or loss of giant pyramidal Betz cells (upper motor neurons). Rare atypical variants of MND-ALS include flail arm syndrome (FA), flail leg syndrome (FL), facial-onset sensory and motor neuronopathy (FOSMN), finger extension weakness and downbeat nystagmus motor neuron disease (FEWDON-MND) and long-standing and juvenile MND-ALS. In this article, we present a review of diagnostic criteria and the differential diagnosis for MND, focusing on ALS.
