The role of sensory information in the pathophysiology of focal dystonias.
Review in Nature reviews. Neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Over the past few decades, abnormalities in sensory functions, such as tactile, proprioceptive and nociceptive processing, have been increasingly recognized in patients with focal dystonias. In this Review, we ask whether sensory system abnormalities are specific to particular types of dystonia, whether a causal link exists between sensory alterations and dystonic motor activity and how mechanisms underlying the sensory abnormalities fit in with the proposed 'network model' of dystonia. We suggest that alterations in the various sensory modalities participate at three different levels in the pathophysiological cascade that leads to dystonia: a background level that predisposes individuals to dystonia, a disease-related level that is evident only when dystonia becomes manifest and a causative level that triggers dystonia. We conclude that it is crucial to study sensory as well as motor pathophysiology to fully understand focal dystonias.
