Mechanical suppression of essential tremor.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
This paper describes a new treatment for essential tremor. A wearable orthosis, which can be adapted to each configuration of each joint of the upper limb, is able to apply effective dynamic force between consecutive segments of the upper limb and change its biomechanical characteristics. The orthosis is controlled by a computer with a dedicated software application that distinguishes between real time tremor and voluntary movement. The wearable orthosis is able to detect position, rate and acceleration of rotation of the joint by means of a chip gyroscope. This technology was evaluated in six patients suffering from essential tremor. The technique is non invasive and represents an alternative to medication and deep brain stimulation.
