Mood disorder affects age at onset of adult-onset cervical dystonia.
Article in Clinical parkinsonism & related disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionMood disorder is common in cervical dystonia, affects quality of life and may precede the onset of the dystonia. There is controversy as to whether mood disorder is part of the primary process or secondary to the disability.We assessed the characteristics of cervical dystonia patients in relation to a past history of mood disorder.
methodsAt a University Hospital clinic, in all consenting patients with cervical dystonia, we uniformly collected demographic data, medical history, and prospectively, measures of prevalent mood disorder.
resultsIn 193 patients (128 women and 65 men) mean age at onset was 43.9 years and mean duration of cervical dystonia was 17.5 years. Men had earlier age at onset of cervical dystonia than women (p = 0.0037). A history of a mood disorder was reported in 53/128 (41%) women with a significantly earlier median age at onset of cervical dystonia (42 years) than 75/128 (59%) women with no history of mood disorder (48 years) (p = 0.005); 33 (26%) women with mood disorder prior to dystonia also had an earlier age at onset of dystonia than the 75 without such a history (p = 0.0154). A history of mood disorder was more common in women (41%) than men (31%); 54/128 (42%) women and 21/65 (32%) men had current mood disorder symptoms.
conclusionsIn our cervical dystonia clinic population significant differences in the age at onset in women with, and without, a history of mood disorder strongly indicates that anxiety and depression are primary non-motor (and premotor) symptoms of cervical dystonia.
