Early-onset Fahr's disease with acute psychosis in a 20-year-old male with SLC20A2 mutation: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Fahr's disease is a rare neurogenetic disorder characterized by bilateral basal ganglia calcification, typically presenting in the fourth to fifth decade. We report an exceptional case of a 20-year-old male presenting with acute psychosis and bilateral basal ganglia calcifications, subsequently confirmed with SLC20A2 mutation. Noncontrast CT demonstrated extensive symmetric calcifications in the basal ganglia, thalami, and subcortical white matter. Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic SLC20A2 variant, confirming primary familial brain calcification. This case highlights the importance of considering Fahr's disease in young adults with acute psychiatric manifestations and emphasizes the role of early genetic testing for accurate diagnosis and family counseling.
