X-linked dystonia parkinsonism: epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.
Review in Acta neurologica Belgica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is a rare X-linked recessive degenerative movement disorder that only affects Filipino descent, predominantly males. Its underlying cause is associated with the genetic alterations in the TAF1/DYT3 multiple transcription system. SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) retrotransposon insertion was suggested to be the responsible genetic mutation. Clinically, it initially presents as focal dystonia and generalizes within years. Parkinsonism arises years later and coexists with dystonia. Nonmotor symptoms like cognitive impairment and mood disorders are also common among XDP patients. XDP diagnosis relies on clinical history and physical examination. On imaging, abnormalities of the striatum, such as atrophy, are widely seen and can explain the clinical presentations with a three-model pathway of the striatum. Treatments aim for symptomatic relief of dystonia and parkinsonism and to prevent complications. Oral medications, chemo-denervation, and surgery are used in XDP patients. This review summarizes the currently important information regarding XDP, providing a synoptic overview and understanding of XDP for future studies.
