A Case Report of Diabetic Striatopathy: An Approach to Diagnosis Based on Clinical and Radiological Findings.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is an acute hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by hemiballismus-hemichorea (HBHC) due to nonketotic hyperglycemia. DS manifests a fascinating interplay between endocrinopathy (diabetes), striatal (putamen, caudate nucleus, globus pallidus) pathology, and a dramatic neurological movement disorder, HBHC. The striking hyperintensity on imaging modalities such as computed axial tomography (CT) scan of the brain and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain can mislead the clinician to an erroneous diagnosis of a cerebral hemorrhage and/or ischemic infarct, especially in an acute setting. We present an acute case of DS and outline the natural history, semiology, typical radiological findings, and therapeutic options. With careful and thoughtful analysis, an accurate diagnosis can be exacted, sparing the patient unnecessary anxiety and medical costs.
