Estimating Change in Tremor Amplitude Using Clinical Ratings: Recommendations for Clinical Trials.
Article in Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Tremor rating scales are the standard method for assessing tremor severity and clinical change due to treatment or disease progression. However, ratings and their changes are difficult to interpret without knowing the relationship between ratings and tremor amplitude (displacement or angular rotation), and the computation of percentage change in ratings relative to baseline is misleading because of the ordinal nature of these scales. For example, a reduction in tremor from rating 2 to rating 1 (0-4 scale) should not be interpreted as a 50% reduction in tremor amplitude, nor should a reduction in rating 4 to rating 3 be interpreted as a 25% reduction in tremor. Studies from several laboratories have found a logarithmic relationship between tremor ratings
