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 among the most prevalent movement disorders, but its origins are elusive. The inferior olivary nucleus (ION) has been hypothesized as the prime generator of tremor because of the pacemaker properties of ION neurons, but structural and functional changes in ION are unlikely under ET. Abnormalities have instead been reported in the cerebello-thalamo-cortical network, including dysfunctions of the GABAergic projections from the cerebellar cortex to the dentate nucleus. It remains unclear, though, how tremor would relate to a dysfunction of cerebellar connectivity. To address this question, we built a computational model of the cortico-cerebello-thalamo-cortical loop. We simulated the effects of a progressive loss of GABA
