Associated co-morbidities in a retrospective cohort of orthostatic tremor.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundOrthostatic tremor (OT) is characterized by tremor in orthostatism. Primary OT is characterized by a high-frequency tremor at surface EMG recording and assumed to be idiopathic, whereas slow-frequency OT is classically associated with neurological pathologies. We report here a retrospective monocentric cohort study of primary (fast OT) and pseudo-OT (slow OT) patients to describe associated neurological and non-neurological co-morbidities.
methodsBetween November 2014 and October 2019, 27 patients with OT were selected from the EMG database of the Department of Clinical Physiology in Lariboisière' s hospital. Patients were classified in primary OT if tremor frequency was ≥ 13 Hz and in pseudo-OT if tremor frequency was < 13 Hz.
resultsLeg tremor on standing represented 10.2% of all tremor recordings. Ten patients were included in the primary and 17 in the pseudo-OT group. Females were predominant (62.9%) (p = 0.04). Mean age at diagnosis was 64.8 ± 1.1 years. At the first visit, a movement disorder was associated with 30% of primary OT, among them one CADASIL patient, whereas extrapyramidal or cerebellar disorders were reported in 100% of pseudo-OT, among them three Wilson's disease patients. These pathologies all preceded primary OT and occurred concomitantly with pseudo-OT. Frequency remained unchanged during evolution, except pseudo-OT in two patients that completely resolved following the introduction of antiParkinsonian drugs. Treatment of primary OT was partially effective in 28% and in 50% of pseudo-OT patients.
conclusionIn this monocentric study, movement disorders were present in 30% of primary OT patients. This result questions the term "idiopathic" or "primary" OT, but the small number of patients does not allow answering this issue.
