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

Essential tremor (ET) is currently classified as a syndrome rather than a unique disease, primarily involving monosymptomatic action tremor in both hands. Different etiologies are presumed to underlie this condition. Currently only a few monogenetic conditions are known to present with this syndrome. If accompanied by additional symptoms that do not in themselves constitute a new syndrome, such as abnormal tandem gait or postures, the syndrome should be diagnosed as "ET plus". ET is associated with abnormal rhythmic activation of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical tremor circuit. Despite its strong heritability, the genetics of ET have not been elucidated as yet. Age-correlated tremor is one of the presumed subgroups of ET. Late onset is associated with a shortened life expectancy. From a treatment perspective, propranolol and primidone represent the drugs of first choice, followed by topiramate. Deep brain stimulation of the Vim nucleus of the thalamus is a proven treatment option in severely affected patients.
