Investigation of the relationship between non-ketotic hyperglycemia and hemichorea-hemiballism: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
rationaleHemichorea-hemiballism, a rare manifestation of non-ketotic hyperglycemia, characterized by involuntary arrhythmic motions involving one side of the body, results from focal lesions in the contralateral caudate nucleus and putamen. Hyperkinetic disorders can be complications of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and should not be ignored. PATIENT CONCERNS: We present the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of left-sided hemichorea-hemiballism. She had type 2 diabetes mellitus with poor control and maintenance of regular hemodialysis. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed as hyperglycemia, normal ketone body and hemichorea-hemiballism based on laboratory examination, computed tomography (CT) scan, and brain magnetic resonance image (MRI).
interventionsIntensive glycemic control via insulin injection was prescribed for correction of hyperglycemia. OUTCOMES: The unilateral involuntary movements subsided progressively over four weeks. The patient's hemichorea had completely resolved at the three-month follow-up. LESSONS: This unusual clinical presentation is often accompanied by severe hyperglycemia. Appropriate blood glycemic control is important. If physicians recognize and provide early treatment for this disease, it is usually treatable and has a good prognosis.
