Paroxysmal Non-Kinesigenic Choreoathetosis Case Report and a Review of the Pathogenesis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Paroxysmal dyskinesias are a rare group of episodic movement disorders characterized by any combination of dystonia, chorea, and athetosis. Patients usually present early in life with episodes of variable frequency involving the limbs or facial muscles that can be disabling. In this article, we present a case of paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia that was responsive to the sodium-channel blocker carbamazepine. Recent data has revealed the role of voltage-gated sodium channels in the pathophysiology of the disease; hence, these disorders are referred to as channelopathies. Further advancements in genetic analysis have elucidated targets corresponding to these disorders, indicating a possible role for gene sequencing in helping to differentiate the subtypes of paroxysmal dyskinesias. This case report sheds light on the pathophysiology of the various channelopathies, especially the findings of cerebellar spreading depolarization and its implication in paroxysmal kinesigenic and non-kinesigenic dyskinesias.
