Cerebellar agenesis.
Review in Brain : a journal of neurology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Lesions of the cerebellum produce profound deficits in movement. Since there is demonstrable recovery from partial lesions, some have asserted that the cerebellum may not be necessary for normal movement. It is even alleged that people may not manifest any motor symptoms despite total cerebellar agenesis. The literature points to a different conclusion. Cerebellar agenesis is always associated with profound motor deficits. A case of cerebellar agenesis of a man who died in 1951 is discussed. Evidence is presented that it is this case which gave rise to part of the oral tradition which alleges that normal movement is possible despite total cerebellar agenesis. In this brain an MRI scan revealed a small residual cerebellum. Moreover, despite an oral tradition to the contrary, there is absolutely no evidence about the motor capacities of this man during his life.
