Wernicke Encephalopathy Associated with Malabsorption in Degos Disease.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. 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
A 40-year-old female with systemic Degos disease presented with 4 days of confusion, somnolence, and ataxia. She was dependent on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) following ileocecectomy for Degos-related gastrointestinal complications and had recently transitioned from intravenous (IV) to oral thiamine supplementation. Although central nervous system involvement of Degos was initially suspected, magnetic resonance imaging findings, low thiamine levels, and rapid improvement with IV thiamine confirmed Wernicke's encephalopathy. This case highlights the importance of recognizing nutritional deficiencies in TPN-dependent patients with neurologic symptoms, even in the context of a rare underlying disease.
