Sensory trick phenomenon in cervical dystonia: a functional MRI study.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Sensory trick may relieve dystonic symptoms in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD). We investigated the patterns of brain functional MRI (fMRI) during resting state, sensory trick simulation and sensory trick imagination in CD patients both with and without an effective sensory trick. We recruited 17 CD patients and 15 healthy controls. Nine patients (CD-trick) had an effective sensory trick, while 8 patients (CD-no-trick) did not. Cervical range of motion validated instrument assessed dystonic posture and sensory trick effect. Participants underwent resting state fMRI, which was repeated by patients while executing the sensory trick. Patients also performed an fMRI task in which they were asked to imagine a sensory trick execution. CD-trick and CD-no-trick patients were comparable in terms of CD severity. Applying the sensory trick, CD-trick patients significantly improved dystonic posture. CD-no-trick patients showed an increased functional connectivity of sensorimotor network relative to controls during classic resting state fMRI. During resting state fMRI with sensory trick, CD-trick patients showed a decrease of sensorimotor network connectivity. During the sensory trick imagination fMRI task, CD-trick relative to CD-no-trick patients increased the recruitment of cerebellum bilaterally. This study suggests a hyper-connectivity of sensorimotor areas during resting state in CD-no-trick subjects. In CD-trick patients, the sensory trick performance was associated with a decreased connectivity of the sensorimotor network. The increased activation of cerebellum in CD-trick patients during the sensory trick imagination suggests a possible role of this area in modulating cortical activity.
