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

purpose of reviewThe last several years have witnessed a remarkable increase in research on essential tremor, with consequent advances in our understanding of this entity. An attempt to both summarize and frame this work has not been undertaken. RECENT

findingsHere, I show that observations on essential tremor arising from clinical practice/clinical studies have guided scientific studies of this disorder. In turn, the results of scientific studies are beginning to be translated back to the bedside to improve treatment. Recent essential tremor research has given rise to several novel and intriguing ideas about the disease. These include the following: essential tremor may represent a family of diseases rather than a single disease; essential tremor seems to be a disease of the cerebellum or cerebellar system; essential tremor may be neurodegenerative; low gamma aminobutyric acid tone seems to be a central feature of essential tremor. As with many emerging ideas, there is significant discussion and debate over these emerging ideas, and this fuels additional scientific studies. SUMMARY: The flow of ideas from clinical observations about essential tremor, to their translation into scientific studies, and their translation back to the bedside, is expected to eventually lead to improvements at the patient interface.
