Belly Dancer's Dyskinesia: 3 Cases of a Rare Entity.
Article in Case reports in neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Involuntary, undulating, or circular movements of abdominal wall muscles are a rare condition descriptively termed belly dancer syndrome or belly dancer's dyskinesia. Differential diagnoses range from cerebral, spinal, peripheral, hormonal/drug-induced effects to local or even unknown/idiopathic and functional/psychogenic causes. Thorough diagnostic work-up is mandatory and therapeutic options depend on etiology and include surgical approaches and symptomatic treatment. We present 3 cases of belly dancer's dyskinesia, in which differential diagnostic work-up did not uncover known etiologies for this movement disorder. Strikingly, 2 patients manifested vitamin B12 deficiency while 1 case showed values close to the lower limit of normal. While relevance of vitamin B12 levels remains elusive, all patients improved substantially following a combined therapeutic approach of clonazepam treatment and vitamin B12 supplementation.
