Functional neurological disorder: Engaging patients in treatment.
Article in Epilepsy & behavior reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Patients with a functional neurological disorder can be difficult to engage in treatment. The reasons for this are complex and may be related to physician, patient and health care system issues. Providers contribute to difficulties in treatment engagement by giving confusing explanations for the patient symptoms, stigmatizing patients, and not allowing patients time to voice their questions and concerns. Patient factors include a lack of engagement after an explanation of the diagnosis, resistance to treatment, family/work dynamics and prior negative experiences with the health care system. The scarcity of providers skilled in the treatment of functional neurological disorder is yet another hurdle. This article will define these barriers and discuss good clinical practices to help improve outcomes by tackling those challenges and discuss why for many patients an integrated care team approach is needed.
