'Essential tremor' or 'the essential tremors': is this one disease or a family of diseases?
Review in Neuroepidemiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
There is accumulating evidence that the entity referred to as 'essential tremor' (ET) is not a single disease. It may be a family of diseases better referred to as 'the ETs'. This review will summarize the following evidence: (1) the presence of etiological heterogeneity; (2) the heterogeneity of findings in postmortem studies, thus suggesting several diseases; (3) the recent discussion that age of onset may be an important marker of disease heterogeneity; (4) the clinical expansion of the concept of ET in recent years to include a broader range of tremor phenomenology, other motor features (gait ataxia), other involuntary movements (dystonia), and nonmotor features (cognitive problems, psychiatric problems), some of which could be primary; (5) the heterogeneity of pharmacological response profiles and clinical progression, and (6) the association of ET with Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and possibly progressive supranuclear palsy, with the possibility that some ET patients are more predisposed to develop one of these. © 2013 S.
