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

Motor and phonic tics associated with Tourette syndrome (TS) can range in severity from barely perceptible to disabling and most patients have a variety of behavioral co-morbidities, particularly, attention deficit disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. Therefore, therapy must be tailored to the individual needs of the patients. In addition to behavioral therapy, oral medications such as alpha agonists, dopamine depletors, anti-psychotics, and topiramate are used to control the involuntary movements and noises. Botulinum toxin injections are particularly effective in patients with troublesome focal motor and phonic tics, including coprolalia. Deep brain stimulation may be considered for patients with "malignant" TS, that is, refractory to medical therapy. When appropriate therapy is selected and implemented, most patients with TS can achieve their full potential and lead essentially normal life.
