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

We examined pathogenesis and clinical features of three hemichorea-hemiballism (HCHB) cases. We studied their age, magnetic resonance imaging results, vascular risk factors, management, and outcomes. One man and two women (aged 74-86 years) demonstrated acute onset of HCHB, lasting for at least several months. Patients had one or more vascular risk factors, including hypertension and diabetes. All patients presented subacute or old infarction in the basal ganglia with contralateral symptoms. We administered clonazepam (0.5-1 mg/day), haloperidol (0.375-0.75 mg/day), or both as necessary and observed symptom-control. Vascular lesions in the basal ganglia were a contributing factor. Symptoms were controlled using pharmacotherapy with gamma-aminobutyric acid-agonist (clonazepam) or anti-dopaminergic (haloperidol) medication.
