Oromandibular tics associated with Tourette syndrome.
Review in Journal of neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundTourette syndrome (TS) is the most common cause of chronic tics. Patients with TS frequently manifest motor tics involving the eyes and face but oromandibular (OM) tics have been rarely studied. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed the medical records and video-recordings of 155 consecutive patients with TS in our movement disorders clinic. In addition, we studied 35 patients with classic tardive dyskinesia (TD) and compared their clinical and demographic features with those with TS.
resultsWe identified 41 patients with OM tics (26.5%). Although patients with OM tics had a greater overall tic severity and higher frequency of.complex motor and phonic tics, in the bivariate analysis, only comorbid dystonic tics (P = 0.001), greater number of affected body parts (P = 0.012) and more frequent eye-rolling tics (P = 0.059) were included in the final regression model after controlling for other variables. When compared with patients with OM tics, patients with classic TD had more frequently masticatory movements (sensitivity, 0.86; specificity, 0.95), continuous tongue movements (sensitivity, 0.71; specificity, 1.0) and continuous OM movements (sensitivity, 0.4; specificity, 1.0).
conclusionsOM tics are common and often troublesome or even disabling symptoms in patients with TS. They may be difficult to differentiate from TD, but the latter is typically manifested by continuous orolingual and masticatory movements.
