Treatment of focal dystonia involving multiple muscles with a single injection of botulinum toxin A to 1 muscle: A case report.

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
rationaleBotulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection is effective in treating focal dystonia. However, there are no prior reports regarding the treatment of progressive focal dystonia by a single BTX-A injection that affect a distant muscle. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 19-year-old male was referred to the rehabilitation clinic with a complaint of involuntary movement in his left big toe. The involuntary movement pattern was initially observed in the abduction direction only; however, it progressed to irregular mixed patterns in the flexion and abduction directions. DIAGNOSES: In needle electromyography, abnormal dystonic patterns were observed in the left abductor hallucis (AH), flexor hallucis longus, and flexor hallucis brevis muscles. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: These symptoms resolved with a single BTX-A injection to the AH muscle. LESSONS: In this case, a single BTX-A injection to 1 muscle for treating progressive focal dystonia was effective on a distant noninjected muscle.
