Review in Tremor and other hyperkinetic movements (New York, N.Y.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: Palatal tremor is involuntary, rhythmic and oscillatory movement of the soft palate. Palatal tremor can be classified into three subtypes; essential, symptomatic and palatal tremor associated with progressive ataxia. Methods: A thorough Pubmed search was conducted to look for the original articles, reviews, letters to editor, case reports, and teaching neuroimages, with the keywords "essential", "symptomatic palatal tremor", "myoclonus", "ataxia", "hypertrophic", "olivary" and "degeneration". Results: Essential palatal tremor is due to contraction of the tensor veli palatini muscle, supplied by the 5 Discussion: Further studies are required to understand the cause and pathophysiology of Essential palatal tremor and progressive ataxia and palatal tremor. Similarly, the link between tauopathy and palatal tremor associated progressive ataxia needs to be explored further. Oscillopsia and progressive ataxia are more debilitating than palatal tremor and needs new treatment approaches.
