Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia Symptoms Markedly Reduced with Parenteral Vitamins and Minerals: A Case Report.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionParoxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a rare movement disorder triggered by sudden voluntary movements. The disorder involves attacks of chorea, which resolve within minutes, that may occur frequently throughout the day. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old woman presented to the clinic with a 13-year history of PKD first diagnosed in 2002. This patient had frequent episodic attacks of PKD, which were so severe she had difficulty with ambulation and other activities of daily living. The case was complicated by an additional diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome. She refused antiseizure medication because of concerns about it exacerbating her fatigue. In the office, she was given weekly parenteral doses of vitamins and minerals, which almost completely eliminated her symptoms between treatments and allowed her to return to activities of daily living. DISCUSSION: Genetic testing, not related to her PKD diagnosis, revealed several mutations that could offer an explanation for the apparent efficacy of parenteral therapy in this patient.
