1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To report a complex case of serotonin toxicity that evolved into a persistent neuropsychiatric syndrome, complicating the differential diagnosis between protracted toxicity, prolonged SSRI discontinuation syndrome, acute hepatic porphyria, and functional neurological disorder (FND). Method: We present the case of a 61-year-old male with a history of gastric sleeve surgery and major depressive disorder (MDD) who developed acute serotonin syndrome (SS) following the concomitant use of fluoxetine, buspirone, and linezolid. Results: While acute autonomic instability resolved upon cessation of serotonergic agents, the patient developed subacute, evolving neurological deficits. Workup revealed an Conclusions: This case highlights the diagnostic complexity following SS in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy and genetic variances. It emphasizes how an acute organic insult-whether serotonin toxicity, prolonged SSRI discontinuation, or a combination of both-can serve as a physiological trigger for complex FND and PNES, requiring multidisciplinary management. The limitations inherent in single-case observations are discussed.
