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

contextSpinal-generated movement disorders are a complex group of medical conditions, frequently misdiagnosed, originating in the spinal cord or from combined peripheral and central nervous system involvement. In this case report, we describe a novel form of position-dependent dyskinesia due to severe craniocervical malformation.

findingsAn 83-year-old woman with basilar invagination at the C2 vertebra above the line of Chamberlain, occipitocervical lordosis, platybasia with a short clivus, ankylosis of the C1-C2 complex and fusion of the C1 arch developed an unusual pattern of position-dependent left arm dyskinesia triggered by bending her neck forward with simultaneous contact of the flexed elbow with a flat surface. Symptoms did not improve with anticonvulsants and she progressed and died suddenly. CONCLUSION/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A newly described form of position-dependent arm dyskinesia can be associated with severe craniocervical malformation.
